Hamilton Sr: 'None of us are in pain'

Anthony Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton's father, took the outcome of the formula one championship well on Sunday.

"None of us are in pain, trust me," he told an ITV reporter. "We feel great. We've just had one of the most fantastic F1 seasons ever. If somebody told a year ago we'd be fighting for the World Championship at this stage, I'd have replied they are dreaming. But it's been a fantastic year. We lost it by one point - we'll come back next year, and if we don't win it next year, we'll win it the year after. But one thing's for sure: Lewis Hamilton is here to stay.

"We're going to come back next year; the team is going to come back strong. Hopefully all the rubbish that's gone through in F1 this year will not be there next year, and I think we're going to be a force to be reckoned with again.
"I hope everybody is having a good time and a drink. Be happy, because it is a happy day."
