Richard: Some worthy candidates but it would have been a complete travesty if Lewis hadn’t won. Only one man in the history of the world (OK, since 1950 but that’s still 70 years) has come anywhere close to what he’s done and soon Lewis will leave him trailing too. Awesome.
Andrew Webb: I will say well done to Hollie Doyle finishing third. Her year she has had with victories at Royal Ascot, Windsor and Champions Day was great for horse racing.
Here are a few of the powerful stories from tonight's show.

Lewis Hamilton clinched a seventh World Championship and became the most successful racing driver ever with a masterful victory in the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Mercedes driver equalled Michael Schumacher's achievement in of titles, after already suring the German's number of race wins last month.
Victory at a treacherously wet and slippery Istanbul Park track in a topsy-turvy race was the 94th of the 35-year-old Briton's career.
As he received the congratulations of his team, Hamilton was almost overcome with emotion in the car after the race, saying: "To all the kids out there, dream the impossible."
Once out of the car, he added: "Seven is just unimaginable but when you work with such a great group of people and you really trust each other, there is just no end to what you can do together.
"I feel like I'm only just getting started, it's really weird."
