Dustin Johnson, Lewis Hamilton and Terrence Crawford: 25 of the best sports images of the week

This was another historic week on the Formula One track as the remarkable and relentless Lewis Hamilton secured a record-equalling seventh world title.

The British driver was in tears after winning the Turkish Grand Prix, bringing him level in divers' championships to the German legend Michael Schumacher.

It was also a record-extending 94th career win to secure the title with three races to spare, including the season-ending Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

In golf, Dustin Johnson sealed what had been an elusive second major title, with a five-stroke victory at the Masters at Augusta National.

The American, who won the US Open back in 2016, dominated the four days to finish with a tournament-record low 20-under-par total of 268.

There were heartwarming celebrations in rugby union when Argentina stunned the sport by recording their first ever victory over the mighty New Zealand in the Tri Nations series clash in Australia.

Fly-half Nicolas Sanchez scored all the Pumas' points to secure a 25-15 win that left emotional coach Mario Ledesma hailing his players as "incredible" after the match.
