A worthy champion…
Well done Lewis Hamilton. Despite a low-key performance in Mexico where, for the second year running, he clinched the title without being on the podium, he should be applauded for his achievement.
He has drawn level with Juan Manuel Fangio and is only two adrift of Michael Schumacher’s record of seven, and this championship must rank as his best.
Yes, his Mercedes was one of the best two cars on the grid but for a long while he was chasing the tail of Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari. The stand-out moment for me has to be Singapore, a race which even Vettel himself now admits was the turning point of the season. Keith Edwards By email
