Lewis Hamilton clinched his second world championship title in style this year with 11 wins from 19 races.
However team mate Nico Rosberg put up a fight all year long. Hamilton only took the lead in the points standings for good with five races remaining, and the title remained in the balance until the final race.
Here’s a look back on Hamilton’s second championship triumph in pictures.

I really like the second picture when he is at Sepang. I just wish someone had snapped a picture of it with the fireworks in the background just like that video in the official F1 edit.
