The odds are that Lewis Hamilton will become world champion for the second successive year in Mexico. Despite this country's comparatively brief appearances on the F1 schedule, a British driver winning the title in Mexico City is nothing new.
Graham Hill did it 40 years ago - and that was almost a win double in Mexico for the Englishman following a massively dramatic final lap four years before. Brazil 2008 may have had its nail-biting finish for Hamilton's first world championship, but Mexico 1964 was its equal.
This was not only a three-way fight in the final round on October 25, but all three drivers were British: Hill, Jim Clark and John Surtees.
