Lewis Hamilton was officially crowned the 2014 FIA Formula One World Champion on Friday during the FIA’s Prize-Giving Ceremony in Doha, Qatar.
The Briton secured his second title after a season-long battle with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg. He won 11 of the 19 races and scored 384 points, 67 more than his German counterpart.
Speaking at the event on Friday, Hamilton explained what he’s been doing since the season finale in Abu Dhabi where he clinched the crown.
“So far no, it’s been quite a busy period of time, I’m sure for all of us,” he said. “This year, after the race, back doing tons of interviews and radio and television… enjoying it though, I’d happily do that every year!
“At the factory, working on next year’s car already and seeing the team, thanking the team for all their help, both the teams, where they build the engine and also the car.
“Trying to fit in dinners with the family as well,” he added. “It’s been a whirlwind but I’m looking forward to the break that’s coming up and in that break I’ll get to do some partying for sure.”
Hamilton was also awarded ‘Personality of the Year’ as voted for by permanently accredited media.
Daniil Kvyat won ‘Rookie of the Year’ as voted for by a number of his peers and various sportsmen from a number of motorsport categories.
