Hamilton has already won his third World Championship from
yesterday’s win at the US Grand Prix. After Sir Jackie Stewart, Hamilton is the
second British F1 driver to achieve three wins.

“Amazing” is how Hamilton said he felt to Elton John at the
podium interviews. He went on to say "I can't find the right words to tell
you how amazing this feels. I love you guys and everything you do for me. For
all my family, I love you all."

Fellow Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg came second, whilst Sebastian
Vettel came third. If Vettel had secured second place instead of Robserg, the
race would still have been open until Mexico next weekend.
The race was between Hamilton and Rosberg, with both head to
head for first place. However, in the last ten laps, Hamilton managed to
pressure Rosberg. He lost traction and ran off the track whilst Hamilton took
the lead.

Hamilton was informed
of his title win over the radio and was noticeably emotional as he thanked his
team and family.
Though Rosberg initially congratulated Hamilton over his
win, he seemed furious when Hamilton threw a ‘second place’ cap to him, who threw
it right back as shown below. Rosberg has since commented that it was “just some games,
nothing more” and Hamilton has stated that “he had not meant to cause offence.”

Below are images on the Formula 1 history and how Hamilton lines up with the rest of the World Championship winners.
There are still three races, the Mexican, Brazilian and Abu
Dhabi Grand Prix, which Hamilton can now simply cruise through.
The Mexican GP is on at 7PM on the November 1st.
