Lewis Hamilton sealed his third Formula One world title in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix and immediately declared his 2015 success was his best yet. It was quite a statement to make, given the highly dramatic, joyous circumstances surrounding his previous triumphs in 2008 and 2014, but reaching the top has left the British driver with something of an internal battle.

Lewis Hamilton led home a Mercedes one-two as the team chalked up their 13th win of the year at the 2015 Formula One United States Grand Prix. After locking out the front row in the shortened Sunday morning qualifying session, the two Silver Arrows led all but a handful of the racing laps later in the day.

In...
