What a day for Sergio Perez, he's second. He still does not have a drive for next year. Will this be the day that gets him into Alexander Albon's Red Bull seat for 2021?
And what a day for Sebastian Vettel. He has had to face so much criticism after being told at the start of the season that this was his last with Ferrari.
That's his first podium finish since coming second in Mexico in October 2019.

It has been a long time coming but what a race to seal it. If Hamilton didn't win today he would have done it at one of the next three but to seal it at the first time of asking, with a drive from sixth to first, kind of emphasised with Bottas and his spins, it highlights the year he has had.
Now it's the national anthems. Lewis Hamilton, still wiping tears from his eyes.
Absolute class from four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, who is the first to congratulate the seven-time champion.

Hamilton is emotional. He has matched Schumacher's seven titles. It seemed unassailable when Schumacher did it.

I think Vettel has just said to Hamilton "you are the greatest F1 driver in history".
Hamilton wins seventh world championship
Twinkle Toes Tracey: Congrats to Lewis. That sounded like a really good race with those in lower positions. Can wait to see the highlights later.
Robert Garner: Congratulations on a Magnificent Seven.
Howard Horner: Lewis Hamilton is the greatest sportsperson this country has ever produced.
Ambrose Shepherd: Look at the state of those tyres!!
Francesca Gunn: My hammy is crying!!! Yes!!! Yes!! Yes!!! Now onto the 8th!
DNF: Kevin Magnussen (Haas), Romain Grosjean (Haas), Nicholas Latifi (Williams), Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo).
That Lance Stroll pit stop may be one of the worst calls of the season. He was pitted from the lead and ended ninth, with just two points.
Lewis Hamilton gets out of his car and runs into the adoring arms of his team to celebrate. Incredible scenes.
