F1, Abu Dhabi, Hamilton Wins It & Is World Champion
Lewis Hamilton has won the Abu Dhabi GP in style and is now a two time Formula 1 World Drivers Champion. The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS driver dominated the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina Circuit as he took the lead into the first corner from team-mate Nico Rosberg who made a slow getaway, but his title was confirmed when Nico started having car issues that gradually worsened.
2nd place winner, Felipe Massa took a tyre gamble to switch from the Soft to the Supersoft Pirelli tyre and closed the gap finishing 2.5 seconds later. Williams Martini Racing driver Valtteri Bottas finish on the podium in 3rd place after earlier problems pushed me down to 8th. Daniel Ricciardo finished fourth for Infiniti Red Bull Racing after starting the race from the pit lane after being disqualified from qualifying. Jenson Button finished in fifth and looking forward with Honda joining the team from 2015.
