Mercedes Lewis Hamilton won his
third Formula 1 World Championship to become only the second British Driver
after Sir Jackie Stewart to achieve the feat. Hamilton won a thrilling United
States Grand Prix to seal the driver’s title with his 10th victory
of 2015. It was an exciting climax to a race of fluctuating fortunes, lead
changes and superb racing in changing conditions.
Ferrari Sebastian Vettel could have
kept the race open until Mexico next weekend had he finished second, but could
manage only third place behind Mercedes Nico Rosberg. Hamilton started from
second on the grid behind Rosberg and taking the lead at the first corner,
forcing his teammate wide in the process and giving the Red Bulls of Daniil
Kvyat and Daniel Ricciardo the chance to demote Rosberg to fourth.
On a wet track on treaded
intermediate tyres, the Red Bulls were faster than the Mercedes and Hamilton
faced an initial attack from Kvyat. The top four were locked together for the
first 19 laps as Rosberg moved into second, only for Ricciardo to pass him and
then Hamilton take the lead. At last, Kvyat crash added a final twist and
Hamilton sealed a title for which he has appeared on course since the beginning
of the season.
Only three races are left in this
season and Lewis Hamilton is already champion of this season. This is his
consecutive second Championship win and overall third. Next race will held in
Mexico on 2nd November 2015. Lewis Hamilton point tally is 327
points. Second Position is hold by Sebastian Vettel with 251 Points and third
by Nico Rosberg with 247 Points. This season is still interesting as fight for
second position will be exciting to watch.
