Ross Brawn: Lewis Hamilton one of the all-time greats in F1

Formula One sporting boss Ross Brawn believes Lewis Hamilton can be classed among the all-time greats in the sport, following his title triumph at last weekend's Mexican Grand Prix.

Hamilton clinched his fourth drivers' title in Mexico with a recovery drive to ninth, after clashing with rival Sebastian Vettel on the opening lap. The Mercedes driver has joined an exclusive club of just five drivers in the history of F1 to win four or more titles -- alongside Vettel, Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost and Juan Manuel Fangio -- while he has also become Briton's most successful driver of all time.
