Another exhilarating season of Formula One has now come to an end, and as always it has not failed to disappoint. Thrills, spills, drama, feuds, twists and turns were on the agenda as Lewis Hamilton secured his third Drivers’ Championship, putting him on par with such greats as Ayrton Senna, Niki Lauda and Jackie Stewart.
A highly publicised fallout with Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg added to the excitement of the season, the German finishing in second place to complete a clean sweep for the manufacturer, who also won the Constructors’ Championship.
Recording his seventh victory of the season, Lewis Hamilton dominated the Italian Grand Prix to put himself 53 points ahead of his teammate Nico Rosberg in the Drivers’ Championship after the German was forced to pull out on the race due to engine failure with three laps to go.
