He may not have been able to wrap up the title in Austin but Lewis Hamilton is now a seventh-place finish away from winning his fifth Formula One drivers' title.
In an enthralling U.S. Grand Prix, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen took the chequered flag to secure his first F1 victory since 2013, finishing ahead of Max Verstappen. Hamilton could only manage third after Mercedes opted to pit him twice, rather than just the once as Ferrari did with Raikkonen and Red Bull with Verstappen.
