Lewis Hamilton clinched a seventh World Championship and became the most successful racing driver ever with a masterful victory in the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Mercedes driver equalled Michael Schumacher's achievement in terms of titles, after already surpassing the German's number of race wins last month.
Victory at a treacherously wet and slippery Istanbul Park track in a topsy-turvy race was the 94th of the 35-year-old Briton's career.
As he received the congratulations of his team, Hamilton was almost overcome with emotion in the car after the race, saying: "To all the kids out there, dream the impossible."
Once out of the car, he added: "Seven is just unimaginable but when you work with such a great group of people and you really trust each other, there is just no end to what can do together.
"I feel like I'm only just getting started, it's really weird."
Hamilton, who does not yet have a contract for next year, added that he would "love to stay" in F1 and wanted to continue to campaign for change when it comes to human rights, diversity and environmentalism.

2021 calendar announcedpublished at 14:16 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2020
Earlier this week the calendar for 2021 was announced. Lewis Hamilton's current contract with Mercedes expires at the end of this season but now the title is the bag, maybe there will be a new deal announced very soon.
Surely he will be in Mercedes' colours for Melbourne in March. Surely?

'I'm so angry with myself'published at 13:40 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2020
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who finished fourth after he was passed by team-mate Sebastian Vettel on the last lap, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm so angry with myself. I'm so disappointed.
"I was very happy with where we were with 10 laps to go, we were fighting at the end. On the one hand, I cannot afford to do a mistake when fighting for a position and fighting for second place - and today, I'm not on the podium because of these mistakes.
"But congratulations to Seb. It's been a very difficult season and I'm happy that he can show on track what he can do."
"On Lewis Hamilton's title win: "Congratulations to Lewis, it was more a matter of when and not if. He has had an incredible season and this weekend especially, he struggled massively, like everyone did, and then the race game and he was where nobody expected him to be. It's fully deserved."
