Nico Rosberg wrapped up the Formula 1 season on a winning high in Abu Dhabi yesterday with teammate and triple world champion Lewis Hamilton second in a record 12th one-two finish of the year for dominant Mercedes. The German's third win in a row, from a sixth successive pole position, dashed Hamilton's hopes of a 44th career victory in car 44 on the 44th anniversary of the founding of the United Arab Emirates.The Briton, who clinched the title in Texas last month, with three races to spare, finished 8.2 seconds behind after an attempt at a different strategy failed to produce the desired result.The win was the 16th in the season's 19 races for Mercedes."Austin [in Texas] was a tough weekend and since then I've just come back a lot stronger," said Rosberg on the podium after spraying the sparkling rose-water used instead of the usual champagne."I'm excited about how the end of the season went and next year - it can come any moment - it could start tomorrow if it were up to me, no problem. I don't need any holidays."Hamilton had asked over the team radio with 15 laps to go whether he could go to the end having made only one pit stop to Rosberg's two.However, he was left in no doubt that such a move would not work.He then pitted on the next lap, any hopes of a wheel-to-wheel battle over the final laps effectively disappearing into the night.Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen took third place ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel, who started 15th.Rosberg's win was his sixth of the season, and the 14th of his career. It was also a hat-trick first for the German. Hamilton ended the championship with 10 victories, one fewer than in 2014, but he achieved more pole positions and fastest laps than anyone else. ..
