Hamilton Wins US Grand Prix

Britain’s Lewis Hamilton has claimed his third Formula One World Championship, equalling the all-time British record, after winning a thrilling, United States (US) Grand Prix in Austin.

Nico Rosberg looked set to make Hamilton wait for at least another seven days to close out the 2015 title as he led his Mercedes team-mate heading into the final 10 laps.

However, as he attempted to re-establish his lead after a late safety car, Rosberg made an error and ran off the track with the mistake enough to let Hamilton through to the lead and a Championship-winning position.

And with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel only finishing third, Hamilton’s 10th win of the season was enough to clinch the crown with three races to spare.
