Lewis Hamilton has good reason to celebrate his birthday today in style having recently secured his third world Formula One title.

The British driver enjoyed a stellar 2015, fending off Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg to wrap-up yet another season-ending crown, meaning he is hot on the heels of Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost, both of whom won four titles.

At the age of 30, Hamilton is at the peak of his powers in the sport and will be targeting more glory in 2016.
