Formula 1 2016 season has crowned Nico Rosberg as the new World Champion. Abu Dhabi has been the perfect closer for a year that has left us a few memorable and nerve-racking moments. The social media life of Formula 1 teams has certainly been intense as well so here are the best tweets from Brazil and Abu Dhabi. Enjoy!
APPRECIATING GREATNESS:
Formula 1 teams and drivers have one thing in common: they love the sport. The evidence is the amount of wows, bows and speechless moments Verstappen sparks almost every single race. #bow
HOLY MOTHER OF WOW! Yup, we clapped too. #BrazilGP. pic.twitter.com/AqrZ63ReSd

WE ARE TREMBLING:
We have seen some breath-taking moments this season! And certainly not all of them had Max Verstappen in the main role. #bitingnails
We're actually shaking…
WHY are we shaking…IS ANYONE ELSE SHAKING?!?!

GOODBYE IS THE HARDEST WORD:
Formula 1 is a big family and when someone announces its retirement you cannot help but feeling an immense sadness. Next year two great drivers will be watching the races from home yet will be forever in the hearts of the fans. #F1missthem
Lap 14/55 | Filling up watching JB's retirement. What a Champ! 😭😭😭

THE FRIENDLY RIVALRY:
Eleven teams, twenty two drivers. All of them fighting wheel-to-wheel to be part of Formula 1 history. However, when the show comes to an end, all the battles remain on the track, showing that respect is the motto of this sport. #respect
It's been a brilliant battle: congratulations to our rivals – but friends – @WilliamsRacing for putting up a big fight all season!

SHARING A LAUGH:
Formula 1 is a unique sport, the only in which teams can tease each other without offending the other. Can you imagine that in football? #pokingthegarage
You were hogging the spotlight, @MercedesAMGF1 😐 https://t.co/SNuTDfinvH

THE RADIO:
What would we do without those messages that are music to our ears? Not only are they used to let off steam, but also to play it nice. #turnontheradio
📻" BLUE FLAG!" @LewisHamilton
Either we've accidentally tuned into radio No.5️⃣ or someone needs to MOVE! #F1Finale #AbuDhabiGP #F1
