Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton capped another successful year by claiming the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year prize.

The 35-year-old driver, who last month equalled Michael Schumacher's record of seven F1 titles, overcame Jordan Henderson and Hollie Doyle to win the British broadcaster's prestigious prize in a public vote on Sunday. Hamilton has been a vocal advocate in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and said he now has "something different" driving him. Hamilton also won the BBC prize in 2014.
