AFP, AUSTIN, TexasLewis Hamilton on Sunday paid tribute to the late Niki Lauda after wrapping up his sixth world title, claiming the Mercedes team mentor was with him “in spirit.”Triple world champion Lauda passed away in May at the age of 70 and the Austrian legend was very much in the mind of 34-year-old Hamilton after he secured this season’s title. “I miss him so much and I know he would take his cap off here today,” Hamilton said. We all struggle and if it helps just one person then it is worth it.”“It’s overwhelming if I’m honest. It was a tough race today and yesterday was a difficult day for us,” he said earlier. “Right now, honestly, it is hard to understand what I have done today, but I feel very happy,” Hamilton said.
