After breaking the world record as the youngest F1 champion, Hamilton goes emotional and remembers God.
Lewis Hamilton wept with joy after becoming the youngest-ever Formula One world champion and roared: "I thank God for this."

Hamilton pipped Brazilian Felipe Massa to the title in unbelievable fashion when he overtook German Timo Glock with just half a mile left to clinch the fifth place he needed in the Brazilian Grand Prix.
"I'm very emotional, I've cried. "I don't think it has hit home yet that I am the world champion. I can only thank God I managed to get past Glock and it was just amazing. I have just had the most intense race of my life, my heart is still racing. I am going to celebrate with my family. We will party together as a team, that's for sure," The Sun quoted Hamilton, 23, as saying.

"I had a problem with my tyres, they were beginning to grain. There was nothing I could do. I was just trying to keep the car on the track. My heart was in my mouth when I was trying to get back in front of Sebastian Vettel but fortunately there was an opportunity to get past Glock," he added
With his nerve-wrecking victory, Hamilton has a lot to celebrate about.
