The Brit was spotted partying late into the night at a club, as shown in several videos circulating online.

“I lasted until about 6 a.m., then we had a little McDonald’s in the morning,” he told The Telegraph. “I wanted McNuggets, but they didn’t have any because it was morning, so it was like sausage, egg, maybe some chicken… I don’t know. I regretted it.”

The Brit also revealed that he wanted to take inspiration from Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton on how to celebrate a championship win, but he was still happy with how it went, even though he couldn’t hold back his tears.

“I did cry quite a lot. I was going to look at Seb (Vettel). Seb’s always a good one for celebrations and always does cool, unique things. Lewis, too. So I was going to look back at some of them, I was thinking ‘What do I do? Do I need to copy some of these things?’ But I’m happy I didn’t in the end, so what played out was just what I felt and it was more just all in the moment and that’s what made it extra special.”

Here’s the race he was talking about.
