00:00Nico Rosberg, who said at the start of the week he goes into this race with no fear and every belief that this can be his title.
00:07Lewis Hamilton saying he's relaxed, he's feeling confident, and he is ready to win.
00:12It's lights out, and away we go, and Hamilton makes a great start from second place, and he's way ahead of Nico Rosberg.
00:20Into the first turn, Rosberg under pressure, but he stays ahead of the Williams.
00:23Jenson Button gets himself up into fourth place as Maldonado goes wide at the back, but what a brilliant start for Lewis.
00:30Hamilton and the crowd, and so many British fans here cheering him away.
00:34Well, he didn't like his practice start on the formation lap, but that was a mighty getaway, wasn't it?
00:38In the second phase, too, he just took off as Rosberg bogged down and just didn't get off the line.
00:46Just having a look at Daniel Ricciardo and Kimui Kobayashi and Adrian Soudal passed at the end of that straight.
00:54Look, there goes Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.
00:56Textbook move from a Fernando Alonso and his last start for Ferrari.
01:03Not sure how much torque you are, I can keep this pace.
01:06A couple more laps, I think.
01:07Here goes Valtteri Bottas on Daniel Ricciardo, and in the end the fight was pretty much non-existent and all over in a couple of jabs, wasn't it?
01:15Valtteri Bottas on Daniel Ricciardo, and in the end the fight was pretty much non-existent and all over in a couple of jabs, wasn't it, wasn't it, going into this race?
01:26Rosberg is losing time all the while on this latest lap.
01:30OK, Nico, so at the moment Urz has failed.
01:37And if they can't get the energy recovery system back fully operational down the two long, long straights here in Abu Dhabi, Rosberg is going to be losing speed all the while.
01:51It's an easy kill, isn't it, for Felipe Massa? Second place is his now to a round of applause in the Williams garage.
02:02We're on board with Valtteri Bottas, who's making his way past people, as you can see.
02:09This time, it's Nico Rosberg, who's dropped back another place, using DRS, of course, and accelerating on the inside.
02:21Sebastian Vettel down the inside, oh, and there's Sergio Perez, switches back beautifully, the Mexican.
02:30And I think Nico Rosberg is about to retire from this race, Martin, where he's just letting cars go past him.
02:36But he's just backed off quite drastically there. He is now out of the points.
02:41So, Nico, box, box, box. Too many problems with the car. Box, box, box.
02:47I would like to go to the end.
02:52His teammate came here, confident he could win the championship.
02:55That confidence, though, turned into agony for Rosberg, because Lewis Hamilton comes around the final corner.
03:02It's not Rosberg, it's Lewis Hamilton, champion of the world in 2014.
03:09This time, it's hammer time.
03:11Lewis, thank you very, very much for not letting or making the British public sweat.
03:16You are an absolute legend. Well done, mate.
03:18Well done, mate.
03:20Woo-hoo! World champion!
03:23Oh, my God! I can't believe it!
03:27Hamilton settles matters by doing what he had to do today.
03:32The boy from Stevenage done good again.
03:35It's Lewis Hamilton that wins the jewel in the deserts, takes the victory!
03:40And the champagne!
03:42And more importantly, the championship too!
03:45Championship too!
