For the second time, F1 racer Lewis Hamilton won the BBC Sports Personality of the year award. After breaking records again this season, he was a natural choice. (Hamilton was nominated alongside boxer Tyson Fury, cricketer Stuart Broad, footballer Jordan Henderson, snooker player Ronnie O’Sullivan and jockey Hollie Doyle.)

“Firstly, I couldn’t have done that without a great group of people that I work [with]. I’m so grateful for all their hard work and I think it’s a collaboration,” said Hamilton.
