Roberts started out the season with a 6th place finish in South Africa. He went on to take strong victories at the following Malaysian, Spanish, and Catalunya Grand Prix, and secure his position as point's leader. Roberts went on to brilliantly clinch the championship title by the close of the 14th Grand Prix in Brazil, with two races still left to go in the season.
