Lewis Hamilton has become Britain’s most successful F1 driver after winning his fourth world championship.
Hamilton secured the title at the Mexican GP overtaking the record of three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart, a record held since the 1970s.
There have been 10 British Formula 1 world champions and Hamilton’s fourth championship makes him only the fifth driver in Formula 1 history to reach the landmark.
