The 2010s were a special time for Formula 1. We had two multiple-time World Champions, we saw the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era and we saw the emergence of some of the stars of the future. But as the clock struck midnight it was out with the 10s and in with the 20s and we welcomed in a new decade. Here's how the world of motorsport reacted.

2019 is a year I will never forget. I can’t describe how it felt to win a 6th world title. I feel your love #TeamLH from all over the world and I want to end the year by saying a massive thank you for your support 🙏🏾 Sending lots of love and positive energy to you all for 2020.

What a year 2019 has been ! Really looking forward to 2020 to be back in the car, to push the limits even further and to learn from the mistakes done in 2019 to have a better 2020. 🎉
