In adding the 2014 title to his triumph in 2008, Hamilton becomes just the 16th driver to win multiple Drivers' Championships, and joins Sir Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and Jim Clark in the list of British drivers to win more than one title.
He still has a long way to catch Michael Schumacher's record of seven Drivers' Championships, while Juan Manuel Fangio sits in second having been the last driver to win the title in a Mercedes.
