    British driver Lewis Hamilton clinched his second Formula One title in style after winning the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday, with title rival Nico Rosberg drifting out of contention after failing to recover from a poor start.

    Hamilton, the 2008 F1 champion, entered the race with a 17-point lead over his Mercedes rival Rosberg, needing only a top-two finish to guarantee the title.

    "Woooooo-hoooooo, world champion I can't believe it! Thank you so much guys," Hamilton screamed over race radio, before grabbing a Union Jack flag and waving it above his car as his mechanics celebrated wildly.

    Surprising season for Vettel. Had a chance to tie Schumacher with five straight titles. I don't think anyone would've predicted he wouldn't win a race this year. I don't know how bad things got for him with TRB but hopefully he'll be rejuvenated with Ferrari next season.

    Unbelievable season for Hamilton. Dominant. Rosberg was excellent as well.
