Lewis Hamilton took a break from a controversial season to claim the GQ Sportsman of the Year award at a star-studded event in London.
The Formula 1 driver attended the GQ Event at the Royal Opera House accompanied by his girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger.
On receiving the award, Hamilton said: ‘I want to receive this for my family and for my team. I’ve been very fortunate to be in F1 for eight years now and I’m extremely grateful.’
the 29-year old is currently second in the world drivers’ championship 29 points behind teammate Nico Rosberg with the pair enduring a toxic relationship this season that reached its breaking point when the German deliberately crashed into Hamilton at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Though the pair seem to have patched things up, Hamilton insists that he will be giving his all to win his second world championship title.
‘It’s going to be a tough road from here, but championships have been won from much further back than I am now,’ said Hamilton.
‘And I promise you I will be giving everything and more to win this for my team, for my family and for my fans,’
