Well Rosberg (N) has won the Championship as often as his father did, which is more than most of todays go-cart trained young men can say!
A geriatric comments that there are so many races these days and so little that is memorable about any of 'em.
Similarly, so many WDC points for each leads me to say that Rosberg was credited with ten more points this year than the total of all scores in 1973
I belong to the same camp as yourself, but I think we have to consider that Grand Prix racing is now in an entirely different era, and comparisons are a bit pointless (no pun intended). IMO Formula One is dead and buried as a sport; what we have now is a race series in the form of a circus, carefully managed and co-ordinated to entertain a completely new breed of customer. It's what BCE set out to do, and he's achieved it and made billionaires out of a lot of people. Remember the days when Frank Williams ran his team from a phone box, and had to hide when the creditors came calling? They all love Bernie these days, even if they put up token resistance from time to time.
I admit I can't recall any of the races this year, or from the last decade. However, that's what the new management want - no reminiscing, let's get on to the next payday. Until they run out of tinpot countries who want 15 minutes in the limelight, that's the way it'll be.
BTW Keke Rosberg was one of my favourites back in the day. and I know that DSJ had time for him. He may have won the championship in rather dubious style, but he made up for it the next year with his efforts to keep up with the turbo cars. He was the only driver who bothered and it was a sight to behold as he pushed his car to its screaming limits in a vain attempt to protect his title. Plus he was "cool" - Allan L probably saw "that lap" at Silverstone in practice.
