Well, that about brings us to a close here on the live coverage!

Thank you for joining us, especially those of you who were up at 5am to follow along from the start - I saulte you!

It's been a historic day in F1 as Verstappen joins Fangio, Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton as a four-in-a-row champion, while there was a nother record made by Russell as we saw seven drivers win multiple races for the first time ever.

We hope you enjoyed the race as much as we did, and we'll see you again in Qatar next weekend!

Well, it didn't take long for the party to start, seemingly!

Verstappen could be seen with a can of Heineken in hand while talking to Sky Sports F1.

Those of us watching from the UK might be a little alarmed given it's still only 9.17 in the morning, but in fairness over in Vegas it's just gone 1am - still very much party time by Sin City standards!

He's alredy made it four in a row, but Verstappen isn't done just yet.

The Red Bull driver has promised that he is still hungry for more, although he will find a fired up Norris raring to go tow-to-toe with his rival once again next year, while a Ferrari with Lewis Hamilton at the helm will not want to settle for second place either.

Here's some more of what Verstappen had to say after the race!

Think it's safe to say Russell is a fan of Vegas after tonight/this morning...

For anyone who thinks that it might get boring being on the top of the world for so long, just look at these images.

Look what it means to him! He joins true bona fide F1 immortals Fangio, Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton as a fellow four-in-a-row champion.

There were remarkably rumours at the start of the season linking Verstappen to a move away.

But the Dutch driver has seemingly silenced such talk after sealing title No 4 in Vegas, claiming there's 'definitely' nothing on his mind other than being part of his team.

For me I'm just very proud to be part of the team and we are now celebrating our fourth world title together.
There's definitely nothing on my mind. Nothing else on my mind.

As you'd expect, there's been a whole lot of love for Verstappen on social media this morning.

Naturally, 'GOAT' crops up a fair amount, and after this season it's pretty hard to argue he's not at the higher end of the top 10 drivers to ever get behind the wheel in an F1 car.

And of course, being in Vegas and all, you'd expect there's going to be one heck of a party in the Mercedes camp.

Toto Wolff was on the radio to toast his driver's win, and admitted that there may be a change of plans in order to stay in Sin City another night and enjoy the collective fruits of their labours.

As for Russell, he's had a 'dream of a weekend' and more than deserves to let his hair down tonight, though he'll likely have an eye on the two remaining races of the season to come.

It’s going to be a good party, I was planning on flying in a couple of hours but I’m definitely not getting on that flight. I’m going to enjoy this evening with all my team.
It’s been a dream of a weekend I don’t know how we’ve been so quick but I’m just riding this wave right now.
Vegas is just crazy place and when you’re driving and you see all of this in the background, I can’t describe this place and to get victory here, pole position and a dominant weekend, one-two with Lewis as well, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to make this happen.

And now for the race-winner Russell's post-race comments.

He'll know that the spotlight is naturally on Verstappen, as it really should be, but he will look back at the race and know that that was one of his best performances to date in F1.

He controlled from the get-go, and barring a furious assault from Leclerc inside the opening five laps or so, nobody could really lay a glove on him.

I was just waiting for something to happen, the two races I’ve been on pole before it’s always been chaos, rain, dry, always something happening, last race in Brazil with the red flag there is always something happening.
I was feeling confident and I had a good gap but I was just waiting for something to happen and it didn’t, so I guess luck has turned and I’m so happy right now.

Midway through this season it looked like we were in for yet another Verstappen-dominated campaign.

For Red Bull fans that's about as much as you'd want to see, but for those fans maybe new to the sport, you can understand the frustration at a lack of jeopardy.

But then McLaren and Norris turned up, and threatened one of the sport's greatest comebacks as he seemed set to push Verstappen to the wire.

To his monumental credit, he took it to the final three races, but in the end the Red Bull romped to the title tonight/this morning, and Norris was clearly a little crestfallen after the race.

Congrats to Max. Knowing the championship is 100 per cent over, we always had a little hope inside but he drove an incredible season.
When he had the quickest car, he dominated, when he didn't, he was still there and always in my heels.
He made my life tough. We made his tough I'm sure at times. But he drove a better season and of course a big congrats to him. That's the main thing.
The race was pretty pants. Bad pace, bad grip, bad tyre management, just a poor weekend from us.

We mentioned Hamilton's comments after the race there; here's his interview with Terry Crewes and Jenson Button, which still sounds weird no matter how many times you say it, but that's Vegas!

Firstly congrats to Max winning the championship, still with several races to go. If I'd done my job yesterday it would have been a breeze today. But its okay, I had fun coming from tenth and the team did a fantastic job.
We don't know why we were quick this weekend but that's the best the car has ever felt. So I'm grateful to be a part of getting to that point.
It's not the climate, its just that the race is so late. you're going to bed at five, 6am and starting the day much later which is quite difficult, you don't get much sun and it messes with your rhythm. Otherwise its so cold, maybe the reason why we did so well was because it was cold.
If the car drives like that in the next couple of races then I think we’ll be in a good spot to challenge the guys up front. The championship’s done, so now it’s just all out, fight for the best positions possible.
