Lewis Hamilton has claimed his sixth Formula 1 world championship title by finishing second at the US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
Hamilton finished in second place in the race behind teammate Valtteri Bottas, after nursing his tyres on a one-stop strategy.
He was overtaken late on by Bottas, who was on fresher tyres and had to win to have any chance of extending the title race to Brazil in a fortnight's time.
It is his third title in a row and makes him the second most successful F1 driver of all time, one behind seven-time champion Michael Schumacher and one clear of Juan Manuel Fangio.
"Still we rise guys, still we rise," Hamilton said on team radio after the race
"I can't believe it, I really can't believe it."
More to come.
