Lewis Hamilton has hailed the past two years as the best of his life after concluding two days of celebrations with everyone at Mercedes following their success in winning the Formula One constructors' title. The team, primarily based in Brackley, with the power-unit department 28 miles away in Brixworth, has been savouring the fruits of five years of hard work since Mercedes bought out Brawn GP at the end of 2009. The team's ninth one-two of the season in Russia on Sunday - one shy of McLaren's 1988 record - and spearheaded by Hamilton's ninth win this campaign, ensured Mercedes became champions in style for the first time in F1 history.
