Wow! Shocking news, but credit to Rosberg for going out in style.

Shocking. This opens up the most wanted seat in F1...all other teams are going to get screwed since every driver wants to be in a Mercedes. If Nico ends up coming back to F1 in a few years (like Kimi Raikkonen did) it's going to be the dumbest move ever in the history of the sport...

Unexpected but a great way to end your career. I wish him all the best for the future. He is a lovely guy.

I would like to see Vettel take Nico's position at Mercedes and be sore loser Lewis Hamilton's partner.
