Before Fernando Alonso and Jimmie Johnson indulge in the mother of all car swaps today, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vette capped off their season with a celebratory helmet swap.
It was another close-fought battle between the two F1 legends this year, with both men racing to achieve a fifth world title.
