Lewis Hamilton has won his 6th F1 title making him only the second to do so after Michael Schumacher...
He has solidified his name as a Formula 1 legend after finishing second at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, United States of America and clinching his 6th F1 championship. It is his 3rd consecutive title.
Only Michael Schumacher has one more victory over Hamilton. "Still we rise. What an incredible weekend.
Thank you so much for today. Thank you everybody that came out," said the champ over the radio after stealing the second spot.
"I can't believe it. I really can't believe it. Thank you so much." His father was there to witness the historic triumph as well as his friend Matthew McConaughey.
Above all Hamilton dedicated the F1 title win to the late Nikki Lauder. Laud was a legend in his own right and a mentor to Hamilton.
"As a kid growing up in Stevenage, it was a wish to win an F1 race and a dream to win a Championship, so to be standing here representing my country, is such an incredible honour and beyond what I could ever have imagined.
"If just one kid sees me standing here and decides to follow their dream, no matter what it may be, nothing would make me more proud.
