Mexico Grand Prix: Can Lewis Hamilton seal his fifth title in Mexico?

Sports 0

For Lewis Hamilton, the hunt for a fifth World Championship continues.

In the build-up to the United States Grand Prix, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the headlines would be dominated by Hamilton's title victory come Monday morning.

Instead, a shiny red Ferrari spoiled the party. But it wasn't Sebastian Vettel clawing his way back into the title fight that caused an upset - it was Kimi Raikkonen's first win for more than five years that got the crowds going in Texas.

Throw into the mix Max Verstappen's remarkable display from 18th on the grid to secure second on the podium - complete with destroyed racing boots through pushing so hard - and the story of Austin was perhaps one of showing off other drivers' talents.

Luckily for Hamilton, he only needs to finish in the top seven to finally put the celebratory bow on the F1 trophy. It's a feeling the Mercedes man is already familiar with at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
