Hamilton's book

Also, the Briton announced he will be launching a book over the Christmas period called '44'.

The significance of the number is that of Hamilton celebrating his fourth world title and the Mercedes team winning their fourth Constructors title. Conveniently, Formula 1 fans will know that '44' has always been Hamilton's car number.

In this series of Instagram posts, Hamilton looks at his 5th win at the Chinese Grand Prix, breaking Micheal Schumacher and Ayrton Senna's pole records among other great memories.

Check it out:
