Lewis Hamilton crowned Formula One World Champion for third time

Hamilton now joins his idol Ayrton Senna with three titles to his name.

Lewis Hamilton has been crowned Formula One world champion after winning the United States Grand Prix in the most dramatic of circumstances.

Nico Rosberg appeared on course to postpone his team-mate’s title celebrations for one more race, but the German made an unforced error with just seven laps remaining to allow Hamilton to take the lead.
