關於 who won the space race ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

NicoRosberg才剛在阿布達比站贏得2016年F1世界冠軍，卻在24小時前閃電宣佈退休！

他在個人官方臉書的發文裡指出，在25年的賽車生涯裡，成為F1冠軍一直是他的終極夢想。然而達到這個巔峰的一路上，有太多的付出、甚至是痛苦和犧牲...在他賽車生涯最緊繃爆表的55圈後，他享受到了最棒的時刻，也毫不眷戀地迅速做了退休的決定，當然他也特別提到在他背後一直支持他的家人朋友們，特別是他的太太（這真的很重要，是眾人看不到卻最強大的力量！）

有多少人能下這樣的決定呢？！
我覺得這很帥，但也讓人很不捨，只好說聲謝謝Nico Rosberg給我們這精彩的一年。

Nico Rosberg:

“Since 25 years in racing, it has been my dream, my ‘one thing’ to become Formula One World Champion. Through the hard work, the pain, the sacrifices, this has been my target.And now I’ve made it. I have climbed my mountain, I am on the peak, so this feels right. My strongest emotion right now is deep gratitude to everybody who supported me to make that dream happen.

“This season, I tell you, it was so damn tough. I pushed like crazy in every area after the disappointments of the last two years; they fuelled my motivation to levels I had never experienced before. And of course that had an impact on the ones I love, too – it was a whole family effort of sacrifice, putting everything behind our target. I cannot find enough words to thank my wife Vivian; she has been incredible. She understood that this year was the big one, our opportunity to do it, and created the space for me to get full recovery between every race, looking after our daughter each night, taking over when things got tough and putting ourchampionship first.

“When I won the race in Suzuka, from the moment when the destiny of the title was in my own hands, the big pressure started and I began to think about ending my racing career if I became World Champion. On Sunday morning in Abu Dhabi, I knew that it could be my last race and that feeling cleared my head before the start. I wanted to enjoy every part of the experience, knowing it might be the last time… and then the lights went out and I had the most intense 55 laps of my life. I took my decision on Monday evening. After reflecting for a day, the first people I told were Vivian and Georg (Nolte, from Nico’s management team), followed by Toto.

“The only thing that makes this decision in any way difficult for me is because I am putting my racing family into a toughsituation. But Toto understood. He knew straight away that I was completely convinced and that reassured me. My proudest achievement in racing will always be to have won the world championship with this incredible team of people,the Silver Arrows.

“Now, I’m just here to enjoy the moment. There is time tosavour the next weeks, to reflect on the season and to enjoy every experience that comes my way. After that, I will turn the next corner in my life and see what it has in store for me…”

[ F1超震撼快報 - 新科世界冠軍宣布退休 ]
Nico Rosberg拿下F1世界冠軍不到一周閃電宣布退休！！！！！！！！

從賽車25年來，賽車一直是我的夢想，我人生中重要的'一件事'成為一級方程式世界冠軍。通過努力的工作，痛苦，犧牲，這是我的目標。現在我做到了。我爬上了這座山，我站在山頂，所以這感覺正確。我現在最強烈想表達的是對支持我實現夢想的每個人的深切感謝。
“這個賽季，告訴你，這太可怕了。在過去兩年的失望之後，我像瘋了似的想盡一切辦法，並不遺餘力;他們把我的動機提升到我從來沒有經歷過的水平。當然，這對我所愛的人也有影響 - 這是一個家庭的犧牲，把一切放在我的背後支持我，支持我們共同的目標。我找不到任何可以替代的話來感謝我的妻子Vivian;她已經令人難以置信。她知道今年是最大的一次機會，離夢想最近的一次機會，為我創造了一個空間，讓我在每場比賽之間充分恢復，每天晚上照顧我們的女兒，一肩扛起這個家，...

Hi, everyone, today I want you 1.to compete with yourself, not with others. Don’t compete with others. You know why? Because, oh, there are four reasons for this topic. First, if you keep competing with others, not yourself, you are just like 2.a eagle flying high in the sky, and you want to run as fast or as beautifully as a cheetah can do on the ground, ok, so you spend so much time 3.doing the research on the methods or the way a cheetah runs, ok. You find a secret a secret place, spending a lot of time practicing to run. And maybe three years later, or maybe a few years later, you think you are ready, you think you are prepared, so you hold a race, a running race with a cheetah, you know the end, right? You will lose, of course. 4.You will definitely lose. You know why? Because you are an eagle. You are not a cheetah. And then what if you are sad about that. You are so depressed. You spend a lot of time weeping, ok? You get frustrated, and 5.you need somebody to encouage you. You need a lot of time to 6.heal this wound of your mentality. Oh, come on!!! Does it make any sense for you to feel sad about this result? Of course, it’s nonesense. You are an eagle, ok? In the other hand, if you are an eagle. You fly high there. You 7.feel so proud of your ability to run, oh, to fly, ok. You feel, oh, ok, look at those stupid animals. They are running here and there on the gound. Look at me. I can fly. They can not. And you feel so proud. 8.You feel arrogant, OK. Does that make any sense that you feel so satisfied about that? Of course not. You are an eagle. And they are cheetahs, tigers, lions whatever. So if you compete with others. 9.It’s an unfair game. Unfair, it’s unfair. It’s nonesense. OK?
And the second reason for this is. I think, in my opinion, I think this habit of human beings to compete with others, not with ourselves, with others is absolutely 10.from the desire, or the penchant, or the tendency, whatever, 11.to get relaxed, to idle, to avoid labor. you know, to avoid sweat. Why? Oh, you know. If you think you are superior, you think you are great, you are excellent, you are intelligent, you are born into a very good family, you are rich, whatever, and you don’t compete with yourself, you compete with others. You know what will happen? You will instantly, in no time, 12.find a very cheap excuse to stop working, to take a long rest. You know why? Because you look around yourself, the people who are around you, are mostly inferior to you, poorer than you, and maybe uglier than you you you are. So, and then you will lose your motive to move forward, to work hard. Because 13.it needless for you to work hard. You have been a winner. You will lose that reason to work hard, to win because you have won for so many years.
And in the other hand, if you think you are inferior, you think you are poor, you think you are a loser and you don’t compete with yourself, you don’t challenge yourself. You look at the people around you. You look at the people who are driving fancy cars on the street. And you spend so much time doing research on them. ok. And you understand them, OK, and you try to win. 14.You try to be superior to them. And you know what will happen. Maybe after a few days or a few weeks. The same, you will get that very easy and beautiful excuse to take a rest or to quick. You know why? Because you will start to feel that 15.it is impossible for you to improve yourself. You have been a loser. There is no space or room for you to, you know, to make progress. No, not a all, so, you will quit. You, the same, you will instantly, in no time, get a very beautiful excuse to take a long rest. So, I think, in my opinion, if you compete with others, 16.you are just trying to get a very very good excuse for you to use. What? What for? 17.To take a rest.

Allen Iverson carried the 76ers early, Chris Webber put up points late, and the superstar duo continued to keep Philadelphia in first place in the Atlantic Division.


With a brutal seven-game road trip next, there's no better place to sit.

Iverson scored 38 points, Webber added 27 and the streaking Philadelphia 76ers won for the sixth time in seven games, 111-100 over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.

With the Sixers seemingly headed toward another typical tight, frantic fourth, they instead pulled away from the Warriors with an 11-2 run to open the quarter and actually kept their double-digit lead for most of the rest of the game.

"It felt like we turned that corner," Iverson said. "We just did everything right at the end. I think Chris did a great job at the end. We ran the offense through him and he made some great things happen."

Webber and Iverson combined for 50 of the Sixers' 84 shots and made 25 of the 42 field goals. While Iverson scored 24 points in the first half, Webber followed with 15 in the second.

"I don't think I had any doubt about them playing together," coach Maurice Cheeks said. "The reason you put the ball in their hands is because they make plays."

The Sixers will need the All-Stars to keep it up when they open a seven-game road trip Friday night at Atlanta. They won't return home until Jan. 9 against Seattle.

Jason Richardson scored 24 points, Troy Murphy had 22 and Baron Davis 16 for the slumping Warriors, who lost their third straight game on the road.

Kyle Korver scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Samuel Dalembert had 15 points and nine boards for the division-leading 76ers.

Korver hit a 3 that stretched the Sixers lead to 11 early in the fourth and Iverson followed with a jumper that gave them a cushion that they've shown a knack for blowing this year.

Not this time, not after the Sixers kept control at the free-throw line and Dalembert ended the game with two emphatic dunks that brought to life a rather sparse and lifeless crowd.

Richardson and Davis answered the Sixers' spurt with consecutive 3s, but the Warriors faded down the stretch, scoring only nine points in the final 7 minutes.

"We've had a lot of practice holding leads and letting other teams come back on us," Cheeks said.

This rough road trip has deflated the Warriors' best start in over a decade that saw them briefly reach first place in the Pacific Division for the first time since 1992. Golden State closes out its five-game road trip Friday at Detroit.

"We just have to salvage this trip and play well," Murphy said. "If we don't, we could lose by 30."

After a slow start in the first half (5-for-12), Webber got rolling in a wildly entertaining third where neither team played much defense or missed many shots.

Korver's 3-pointer gave the Sixers a nine-point lead that was quickly cut after consecutive 3s from Mike Dunleavy and Richardson. Korver sank another 3, then Iverson hit one to push the lead back to nine.

Richardson buried another 3 -- the teams combined to go 7-for-12 in the quarter -- in the final minute that pulled the Warriors to 86-83, which was as close as they'd come the rest of the game.

Webber scored 11 points in the third quarter, nearly negating the Warriors 77 percent shooting mark from the floor.

"We've got to turn it around and get tougher," Warriors coach Mike Montgomery said. "We're going to have to guard people."

With Kobe Bryant and his 62 points breathing down Iverson's tattooed neck in the league scoring race, the Sixers guard appeared early to want to put more space between the bicoastal All-Stars than the 9/10 of a point that separated them heading into the game.

Iverson scored from all over the floor in the first half, making 11 of 17 shots for 24 points before cooling down and getting Webber and the rest of his teammates move involved in the second.

Game notes
With Sixers C Steven Hunter inactive (leg), Michael Bradley returned to the lineup after sitting out the last four games with a bad back. Hunter said he should return for Friday's game at Atlanta. ... The Sixers are 7-0 at home against the Western Conference. ... The Sixers outrebounded the Warriors 47-39, making them 11-0 when they win the battle of the boards.
