Lewis, din nou campion

Verstappen a învins iar în Mexic, în timp ce Ricciardo, coechipierul sau de la echipa motorizată Renault, pornit din pole-position, a abandonat. Vettel s-a clasat al doilea și a plecat acasă doar cu satisfacția de a-l fi depășit pe Hamilton în cursa care-i anihila și șansele matematice de a-l învinge, în lupta pentru al cincilea titlu. Lewis Hamilton este cel care intră în clubul select al piloților de Formula 1 deveniți de cinci ori campioni mondiali, alături de Michael Schumacher (7 titluri) și de Juan Manuel Fangio. Kimi Raikkonen s-a clasat al treilea în Marele Premiu al Mexicului, urmat de cei doi piloți Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton și Valteri Bottas. 

He’s usually the happiest man in the Formula 1 paddock, but an eighth retirement of the season took its toll on Daniel Ricciardo in Mexico 😞#MexicoGP 🇲🇽 #F1 pic.twitter.com/aMH8gHvobZ

It wasn’t enough to keep him in the title fight…

But Sebastian Vettel did everything he could in Mexico – including this neat pass on his championship rival #MexicoGP 🇲🇽 #F1 pic.twitter.com/oc9h9gNZn8

He missed out on the youngest ever pole by fractions on Saturday

But with win number five, @Max33Verstappen now holds the record for the most wins without taking a pole position 💪#MexicoGP 🇲🇽 #F1 pic.twitter.com/n7CDnbircY
