It proved to be his most hard-fought success yet after enduring a difficult second half of the season under severe pressure from Lando Norris and the revived McLaren team.
The Dutchman demonstrated his determination and elite talent with an incredible performance in the Brazilian Grand Prix in November, where he started 17th but mastered rain and chaotic conditions to take the chequered flag and effectively seal the title. The 27-year-old won nine Grands Prix during the year, taking his career total up to 63.
