RACE HIGHLIGHTS: Watch all the action as Hamilton clinches 7th title at the Turkish GP
It's official: Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time Formula 1 World Champion. And he sealed title #7 with a truly brilliant drive to victory in the Turkish Grand Prix.
With a commanding lead over team mate Valtteri Bottas in the championship coming into this race, Hamilton only needed to finish ahead of the Finn to ensure the crown would be his again. But such caution is simply not Hamilton's style, and after starting sixth, he drove a superbly managed race in very tricky conditions to take the win and the championship.
RACE REPORT: Hamilton seals historic 7th title with peerless wet-weather victory in Turkey
Lance Stroll was in command of the early stages of the race after sealing his maiden pole position on Saturday with a fantastic performance in qualifying. But after the Racing Point driver stopped for tyres mid-way through the race, he dropped down the order, leaving the field clear for Hamilton to storm to victory on a day when the changeable conditions and the slippery track surface made almost every lap something of a lottery for the drivers.
Hit play in the video above to see exactly how Hamilton climbed through the field to take his fourth championship title in a row, and all the rest of the action from a thrilling race in Istanbul.
