What a great weekend to relish as we crowned multiple 2020 world champions.

Lewis Hamilton’s achievement of matching Michael Schumacher’s seven Formula 1 titles is nothing short of remarkable, and his brilliant drive to victory in Sunday’s tricky Turkish Grand Prix was a fitting way to seal the deal.

In Spain, Joan Mir ended Suzuki’s MotoGP title drought as he found consistency in a season that was anything but! And what an epic final lap between Franky Morbidelli and Jack Miller.

In Bahrain, the World Endurance Championship was always going to be claimed by one of the Toyota crews, and it was great to see Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez finally crowned – especially after all their Le Mans 24 Hours heartbreaks.

In this strangest of years, the fact we got to crown anyone with anything seems remarkable when you think back to what happened in March...
