Lewis Hamilton has ended his fifth title-winning Formula One season in style with victory from pole position for Mercedes in the final Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to become the first driver to collect more than 400 points in a season.

Hamilton claimed a personal record-tying 11th season success and 73rd overall ahead of Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and his Australian teammate Daniel Ricciardo fourth in the day-to-night race, which saw Nico Hulkenberg escape a big crash unhurt early on.

Former two-time world champion Fernando Alonso completed his 311th and final Formula One race in a 17-year career just outside the points in 11th place for McLaren.
