VIDEO: Vettel shows his class by congratulating Hamilton after title win

Great gesture from Seb!

Sebastian Vettel was one of the first to congratulate Lewis Hamilton on his sixth world title triumph, having made a beeline to the cool-down room to applaud his long-term rival at the United States GP.

Hamilton finished in second place at the Circuit of the Americas, when eighth would have been enough, taking the championship with a podium finish for the first time since a title-securing race win at COTA in 2015.

Vettel, by comparison, had a miserable race as a poor start was compounded by a dramatic suspension failure on lap eight that ended his efforts prematurely.

But the Ferrari man greeted Hamilton with a smile and a handshake as his latest title win sunk in, demonstrating the deep respect that exists between the pair.
