LEWIS HAMILTON was comforted by his father Anthony as his record eighth world title was stolen from his back pocket. He said: “Firstly, a big congratulations to Max and to his team. I think we did an amazing job this year, with my team. He added: “It has been an incredible season, not only this race but incredible battles. He joined Red Bull’s B-team Toro Rosso before being promoted to Red Bull in 2016 winning his first GP in his debut year for the team. Insane, but says having his first world title will not change him. He added: “It’s been an insane competition, and for Max to win the world championship it’s not just about here, it’s the whole year. “That’s what we’ve been talking about all year and this championship came down to the last lap.
