Hamilton drove the perfect season. Oft times in a lesser car. Vettel should have wrapped it up but Hamilton showed his clear class and talent.
An historic day. 5 times WDC!
This. A great achievement. Don’t get the hate for him. Takes a heap of talent and dedication to achieve what he has, despite what some people seem to want to believe.An historic day. 5 times WDC!
Very pleased. He's been excellent this year. Seems to have maximised his performance in and out of the car in every area. Just another level. Some of his best qualifying laps, some of his best fight backs and damage limitations. Genuinely winning in the lesser car on occasions. Well deserved.
Bring on next season, hope the Ferrari is well matched with Mercedes and let's see what Red Bull do with Honda.

How does he dodge VAT?
I’m not having a go at him, it was the press who were tearing into him over it and his Monaco residency.He imported a Challenger Jet into the EU, which as his personal jet he was l9able to pay VAT on. His advisors constructing a scheme whereby he registered it in the Isle Of Man through one com-any that then leased it to a management company that then rented it back to him that allowed him to reclaim the VAT, which he wouldn’t be able to claim if he hadn’t used that scheme and straight forward declared it as his own jet.
I’m not saying he did anything illegal, but simply that by virtue of being a Monaco tax exile and using ‘aggressive’ tax reduction schemes on his jet he[s given political ammunition to the Corbyn class that he shouldn’t get a knighthood.

Great job and should Vettel kept his head would have been a great year
Lewis no doubt very talented but needs to leave the powerful house of Mercedes and join a smaller team to help them grow to achieve a true championship

A ‘true’ championship... not like he’s just won his 5th championship in arguably the second best car; against a 4 x champion.
Jeeeeeez. ‘Losers don’t like winners’ has never been more apt’.

In that case there hasn't been a true champion since, what, Jackie Stewart and Tyrrell? Lewis no doubt very talented but needs to leave the powerful house of Mercedes and join a smaller team to help them grow to achieve a true championship
