Lewis Hamilton wins his third F1 world championship

Lewis Hamilton could not hold back tears as he hailed what he says is the 'greatest moment of my life'. The 30-year-old was reduced to tears as he became Britain’s most successful racing driver by securing this season’s championship with a win in the US Grand Prix yesterday evening. He is only the second British driver after Sir Jackie Stewart to achieve the feat.

Fellow Briton Elton John even celebrated with Lewis Hamilton on the podium and the pair pledged to party through the night together. Congrats to him...
