The 2016 FIA Formula One World Championship was the 70th season of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)'s Formula One motor racing. It featured the 67th Formula One World Championship, a motor racing championship for Formula One cars which is recognised by the sport's governing body, the FIA, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. Teams and drivers took part in twenty-one Grands Prix—making for the longest season in the sport's history to that point—starting in Australia on 20 March and finishing in Abu Dhabi on 27 November as they competed for the World Drivers' and World Constructors' championships.
Nico Rosberg won his first and only World Drivers' Championship, shortly before announcing his retirement from the sport.
Lewis Hamilton finished runner-up by 5 points driving for Mercedes.
Daniel Ricciardo (pictured in 2015) finished the season in third place, driving for Red Bull.
Mercedes successfully defended their World Constructors' title in a highly dominant performance, winning 19 of the 21 races ran during the season.
