Hamilton goes ugly to win the title; fails
Lewis Hamilton started the race with pole position and continued to be on the number one spot throughout.
But during the end laps of the race, he slowed down to bring other drivers in the competition and to make sure Nico finishes out of the top four.
Despite being told to speed up by his team, he refused to do so.

On Sunday, Rosberg joined his father Keke Rosberg as a world champion, after his father did it in the year 1982.

As the crowd cheered Nico's name, he celebrated by doing a series of doughnuts on the start-finish line and also kissed his car at the end.

The 31-year old German driver said that he was proud of the win and is very happy. He added, "I'm very, very glad that it's over. I am very, very proud. I have done the same feat as my dad achieved."
