Lewis Hamilton wins Sports Personality of the Year
Lewis Hamilton edged out Rory McIlroy to claim the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
Hamilton won his second Formula One world title last month after edging an often controversial battle with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg when he clinched the crown with victory at Abu Dhabi last month.
The 29-year-old had twice been runner-up for the prize and beat long-time favourite McIlroy, who won two majors in 2014, in the public vote.
