    Hamilton's sixth title moved him clear of legendary Juan Manuel Fangio. "It's just overwhelming," he said. "It was such a tough race. Yesterday was a tough day. I really just wanted recover and deliver the one-two. I didn't think the one-stop was going to be possible. I am filled with so much emotion. It is an honor to be up there with those greats."

    Hamilton one title short of legend Michael Schumacher

    Hamilton is one behind record-holder Michael Schumacher (7) in terms of total championships won. The manner in which Hamilton has bossed F1 for a while now, he could go on to equal the German legend in 2020. Meanwhile, he is just eight victories shy of equaling the German's win record of 91, too. Hamilton feels his extraordinary feat has come at a cost.

    Each and every single one of us is struggling: Hamilton

    "Every year you go through a different roller-coaster ride of emotions," he said. "Each and every single one of us is struggling with something in life. I try to show people that, from the outside, things always look great but it's not always the case."
