Italy (winner) Stunning drive as he wins at a venue where Ferrari had a pace advantage. Starts third and bravely goes around outside of Vettel on first lap, with the German spinning as result of light contact. Then hunts down and passes the second Ferrari of Raikkonen to triumph. 10/10. Getty Images
Canada (fifth place) Arguably his weakest performance of the season. Beaten on pace by teammate Valtteri Bottas and only fifth at a race he had won six times in the past. 3/10. Getty Images
China (fourth place) Never really on the pace all weekend. Finishes a distant fourth and spends most of the race moaning at his team about missed chances on strategy. 4/10. Getty Images
Bahrain (third place) Gearbox change leaves him ninth on grid. Despite slow start and contact with Verstappen recovers to finish on the podium. 5/10. Getty Images
Austria (retired) Looked set for victory until strategy error by team drops him to fourth. Then struggles with tyre wear issues before a rare mechanical failure sidelines him. 5/10. Sutton Images
Mexico (fourth place) Mercedes are not on the pace in Mexico but Hamilton is emphatically faster then Bottas and makes the best of what the situation is. Struggles with tyres but drives maturely to be fourth, a result that seals the world title. 5/10. Getty Images
Russia (winner) Rare moment in second half of season where he is behind Bottas on pace. Shows his knack for passing with a good overtake on Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, but needs team orders, which is clearly conflicted about, to finish ahead of Bottas. 5/10 Getty Images
Monaco (third place) Solid effort at a track that does not suit Mercedes. Good damage limitation from the Briton as he finishes on the podium behind Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo and Vettel. 6/10. Getty Images
Australia (second place) Dominates qualifying in the season opener and then the opening stages of race. But ill-timed safety car loses him the lead to Vettel and he is forced to settle for second place. 6/10. AFP
Belgium (second place) Takes pole in the wet but is passed at the start by Vettel. Has no answer to the Ferrari driver but plays the long time and brings it home for 18 points and the runner-up spot. 6/10. AFP
Azerbaijan (winner) Fortuitous win as mistake mid-race when he runs wide leaves him out of position strategy wise. On target for second until Bottas has a puncture that gifts him first place. 6/10. Getty Images
United States (third place) On paper third, having started on pole, was a disappointment. But he made a risky strategy call by Mercedes almost work and drove a spirited race in the final laps. 7/10. Getty Images
Britain (second place) Recovers from being spun around at the start by Kimi Raikkonen to get back up to second. Helped by a safety car period but uses good tyre management to be competitive. 7/10. Getty Images
Brazil (winner) Fortuitous to win as Red Bull's Max Verstappen has him beaten before he collides with Esteban Ocon's Force India. Manages an ailing engine and fragile tyres well though, and keeps his pace up to be able to exploit his rival's misfortune. 7/10. AP Photo
France (winner) Controlled the race from the front and never looked in trouble as he triumphed on French soil for the first time. 8/10. AP Photo
Spain (winner) Dominant display as he takes pole and then controls the race from the front, making an one-stop strategy look easy. 8/10. Getty Images
Japan (winner) Mercedes are the car to have at Suzuka and Hamilton takes full advantage of it as he leads throughout to lead home a one-two ahead of Bottas. 8/10. Getty Images
Hungary (winner) Capitalises on rain in qualifying to take pole at a track where, given the layout, the Mercedes had toiled on in the dry. Then drives a beautifully measured race, looking after his tyres, to prevail. 8/10. Getty Images
Germany (winner) Car failure leaves him in the midfield in qualifying. On target for fifth until rain arrives. Uses great pace on dry tyres on a damp track to charge up and put pressure on his rivals and takes a great win. 9/10. Getty Images
Singapore (winner) Superlative qualifying lap, at a venue he and Mercedes had struggled at in the past, puts him on pole. Then controls the race to pick up a comfortable victory. 10/10. Getty Images
