United States Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton wins sixth F1 world championship

What a day for Mercedes! Lewis Hamilton finished second in the United States Grand Prix to claim his world championship F1 title.

His teammate Valtteri Bottas won the race, but that didn’t matter in the end. Hamilton has now become the second most successful F1 driver of all time, with Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher ahead of him with seven world championships.

Hamilton did well to hold off Max Verstappen to finish second as Bottas won yet another race – his fourth win this season.
