Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton won his third Formula 1 World Championship to become only the second British driver after Sir Jackie Stewart to achieve the feat.
Hamilton, 30, won a thrilling United States Grand Prix to seal the drivers' title with his 10th victory of 2015.
He pressured team-mate Nico Rosberg into a mistake during a frantic last 10 laps after a safety car and swept by.
It was an exciting climax to a race of fluctuating fortunes, lead changes and superb racing in changing conditions.
Hamilton was told he had won the title over the radio on his slowing down lap and initially struggled to speak, apparently fighting back tears, before managing to thank the team and his family for their support.
He then performed donut spins for the fans in the stadium section towards the end of the lap before touring back to the pits for the ceremonies.
