His chances of defending is next to slim, as Ham would need to have the same shit luck with poor reliability again. The last few races shows that Ham is the faster driver in equal cars.

No it doesn't, Ros beat ham handidly when ham didn't have reliability issues, and Ros did what he needed to do to win the championship in the end by mitigating risk and staying second

Let's read the WHOLE article next time. Quote:
The Briton says that, with Rosberg having beaten him for the first time in 18 years, he was not surprised by the decision.
"The sport will miss him but I wish him all the best. I am sure it is a surprise to many people. I am probably the only person who thought it was not a surprise because I've known him a long time, but this is motor racing," Hamilton said.
"This is the first time he has won in 18 years, hence why it was not a surprise that he decided to stop.
"He's got a family to focus on, and wants more children, and F1 takes so much time. Will I miss the rivalry? Of course.
"We had always talked about being champions and when I joined this team and Nico was there, which is also something we talked about when we were kids.
"It is definitely something very strange and it'll be sad to not have him in the team next year."
Hamilton admitted, however, that he would have preferred to have the chance to fight back and beat Rosberg next season, although he said he was not too bothered by the decision.
"I wouldn't say I was annoyed. Of course it is a shame that he won't allow me to take it back or fight to take it back, but that is his choice and I respect his decision – go out on top while you can," he said.

Race Wins:
- Ham: 10
- Ros: 9
Pole Pos:
- Ham: 12
- Ros: 8
It came down to the last race, and Ros won by 5 points. I wouldn't call that handily. It was a close finish and Ros deserved the championship, he did what he needed to win.

Rich | Ur comparing season totals, I'm talking about the races where ham didn't have reliability issues at the beginning of the season
Ham snapped that's when he started running Ros off the road

But I stayed at the Fairmont Monte Carlo just a few days before the race. There was a few F1 drivers that was at the hotel during our stay. Saw Jenson Button in the gym. I even got to drive the F1 circuit in my own car at night since I was doing European Delivery in my BMW.
