F1: 5 best moments of Lewis Hamilton's career

#2 - The 2017 F1 season: winning a titanic season and an acerbic fight ahead of Vettel

In winning the Mexico Grand Prix, Hamilton clinched 4th driver's title

The 2017 F1 season was for all intents and purposes a magnum opus for the respective careers of German Sebastian Vettel and the famous Briton, Lewis Hamilton, both currently tied at 4 World Championship crowns.

If for nothing, Sebastian Vettel, holding the lead of the 2017 season ahead of Mercedes' Hamilton until the Hungaroring (Raikkonen- 2nd, Vettel- 1st) before the season headed for the scheduled break would rescue another title fight from the customary: seeing another outright Mercedes dominance.

This would later be overturned, as Hamilton overcame strong Ferrari resistance to win ecstatic battles at the Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, Monza and, Singapore to hold a titanic lead over a trailing Vettel.

2017, of course, would be a season marked by some distinct triumphs for Hamilton. For instance, he would secure a dominant 70th career pole at Malaysia, having already passed Senna's record for 65 career poles at Azerbaijan.

So dominant and unstoppable as Lewis in the second half of the season that by the time he entered the Malaysian Grand Prix, he was already enjoying a 28 point lead over his German rival.

In ultimately winning a tumultuous season, where one of his more audacious runs came at the Interlagos, where he ended up in fourth, having started as a potential back-marker, Hamilton would crown himself with a fourth driver's title.
