Get all the news and reaction from Lewis Hamilton's title triumph here.....
Lewis Hamilton became the youngest man to win the Formula One drivers' World Championship in a sensational finish at Interlagos on Sunday.
The 23-year-old Englishman, needing a top-five finish to be champion, seized fifth place again for McLaren Mercedes after losing it on the final lap of a tense, dramatic and rain-hit Brazilian Grand Prix won by his title rival and local hero Felipe Massa of Ferrari.
As Massa triumphed and then celebrated, briefly, Hamilton caught and passed German Timo Glock of Toyota to turn his day from despair to joy after earlier appearing to have controlled his own race.

Having O level English is worth half a second a lap!
Hi fellow F1 groupies, your friend Emerson from Brazil here to say hello to all fans of Mr. Hamilton's son. Time to give moronroute a small English lesson:-
It is 'OFF' not 'OF'
It is 'KNOW' not 'NO'
and please learn the difference between a comma ( ,,,,,) and an apostrophe ('''''''''').
Thank you.
Robert T, Colin,Shaun C,Moronroute, jbolan, Penman, Pond, Vlad666 etc, etc - they are all the same person - racist scumbags. Ignore them and there reason for living will die.
Can anyone tell me why Frank Williams is knighted and Ron Dennis is not. I think Ron has done more for GB than Frank. Afterall, Frank never puts his hand in his pocket to sponsor an up and coming talented drivers that I know of. Arise Sir Ron.
robert t,The narrow minded idiot and Colin the small c-o-c-k on a big bike Hater. If its just colour and not skill and ability you can talk about please @#$% off to one of the racist sites. They are more suited to silly little boy statements and know nothing comments from low ability, achieved nothing in life, kkk wannabies. This is for F1 Fans, Not for racist Lady boys on bikes or Masturbating little boys like rober t.(thats the way to spell it robert t and im surprised you dont know this as you have spent most your life doing it problably still doing it now looking at little colin on his big bike bending over waiting for jbolan to give it a closer inspection.
CAROL .WILL 28 post 19, didn,t you no about the certain ones who only jump on the bandwaggon, only in the end when the wheels fall of ,and been made a laughing stock, will they jump again.
NOT, AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT(TIMO GLOCK), from the offices of toyota, timo has unfortunaly gone on vacation, i bet he has, come on my sun and the news of the world , hunt him down and do your job.
stagga y, Good question, I assume it was payback for LH overtaking him in Spa. I'll have to take another look but it looked like he got past LH then braked, which is why LH went to the right and allowed Vettel past on the inside.
shizzelez, Surely you can unlap yourself on any lap, if you are going fast enough ?
Lewis will win more World championships than anyone! Massa will never win it. Ferraris cheating didnt pay off and it never will when we have a class driver like Lewis out there!
Robert T stoping griping and be away with you so you can go and play with your dollys! PONCE
Invalid comment? Seems the stasi have moved to yahoo!!
@stagga y he was unlapping himself as they are allowed in last lap or second last
Hi fellow F1 groupies, your friend Emerson from Brazil here to say hello to all fans of Mr. Hamilton's son. What an inteligent race by mr.hamilton's son and his Fun Team McLaren. They kept us waiting to the very end but the honest mr. ron dennis knew that mr.glock's son couldn't race round a wet track on dry tyres so that baby massa would not be able to steal the Title from mr. hamilton's son. Of course there are lots of very stupid people who know nothing about F1 who are saying that mr.glock was paid lots of money to slow down but the truth is that the Inept Team Toyota have never won a race due to their rubbish car and tactics even though they spend more money than all the other teams put together. Even the whole of Switzerland don't spend that much money! Wasn't it wonderful to see all the Ferrari mechanics and everybody in Brazil cheering and crying with joy when they realised that mr.Hamilton's son had become the World Champion!.
i;ve just been searching for all the youtube vids i could find of the race. just 1 question. what the hell was kubica doing? vettel and hamilton are racing for position and kubica is there getting in the way and actually passes both vettel and hamilton. he infact probably caused hamilton to go wide just before vettel passed him.
in another saner world people like mr. jbolan - who he ? - would be safely locked up and denied access to the internet in the interests of right minded human beings.
Meanwhile I suggest we ignore his incoherent, semi-literate ramblings and focus our attention on celebrating the success of that rare commodity - a world-beating champion of British nationality, who just happens at the same time to be modest, well- behaved and a thoroughly nice guy.
Read my lips - Hamilton - World Champion -
No debate - no argument -
And this will not be the last time you read those words.
Hallelulia !!!
RIGHT THEN ALL YOU LEWIS HATERS I'LL KEEP THIS SIMPLE THE FORMULA 1 SEASON HAS 18 RACES & THE DRIVER WITH THE MOST POINTS AFTER 18 RACES IS THE BEST DRIVER IN THE WORLD SO YOU ALL GO FIND A HILL & GET OVER IT !!!!! THE END
jbolan, hope you are happy....looooser!
I think the first thing jbolan need to do is to learn proper English. And i know just the person to teach him that. Lewis Hamilton. LW you're a great driver and i really hope you keep on doing what you do best. WIN.
what @#$%, you talking about? might as well shut up, since its clear you are FULL OF RUBISH go mess up somewere else
