Lewis Hamilton is, for the fourth time in his career, Formula One World Champion.
The Mercedes driver of the Mercedes finished the ninth place in the Grand Prix of Mexico, but thanks to Sebastian Vettel's fourth position and thanks to the accumulated advantage of 56 points on the Ferrari driver, two races from the end of the world, he is mathematically unreachable.
The race for the British rider was bad, and after a contact with Vettel, he had to start off with the Ferrari driver from the back, finding no difficulty in the race and even dubbing the Dutch driver Verstappen. But while Vettel was able to lead an important race featuring a memorable comeback just finished behind the podium, Hamilton ended at the 9º place but still allows him to triumph even as, for the world rider's talk, only a win or a win second place of the German would have been able to postpone a verdict which, in any case, was already abundantly written
The race yesterday was won by Max Verstappen dominant Mercedes Mercedes Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari. Hamilton then reaches Alain Prost and Vettel himself at 4 titles, ahead of only Michael Schumacher at 7 and Juan Manuel Fangio at 5.
