Nico Rosberg has been crowned the 2016 Formula One World Champion, following the final race of the season, in Abu Dhabi.

Heading into the race, Rosberg's Mercedes teammate and rival Lewis Hamilton was in pole position and still stood an outside chance of claiming his third consecutive world title and fourth overall championship. However, it wasn't to be for the 31-year-old Brit and instead Rosberg won his maiden title, having finished second in the previous two seasons.


Rosberg's victory comes 34 years after his father Keke won the Formula One world title.

Congratulations, Nico!
