Lewis Hamilton edged closer to a fourth world championship on Sunday when he won the United States Grand Prix ahead of title rival Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari.
Mercedes star Hamilton now has a 66-point lead over Vettel with just three races left.
Hamilton’s win also allowed Mercedes to retain the world constructors championship.

The in-form Dutchman produced another scintillating drive to finish fourth after starting from P16.
The 20-year-old did finish third but was then demoted of his podium place for an illegal overtaking move on Kimi Raikkonen on the final lap.
With his team mate Daniel Ricciardo retiring on lap 16, Verstappen’s finish added some gloss to a mixed weekend for Red Bull.

Sebastian Vettel may have fallen short of his hopes of victory, however his lap of 1:37.766 on 51 proved to be the fastest of the day.
Valtteri Bottas’s 1:37.767 on lap 54 was the second-fastest, with Kevin Magnussen’s 1:37.893 on 51 third fastest as he attempted to push from the back of the grid.
It’s unfair to say the disappointment was down to Ricciardo’s driving, but more so seeing him retire when a podium place looked likely coming into the race.
Starting from P4, the Australian looked in emphatic form as he battled with Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen early on before suffering engine failure after lap 16.
It was another fantastic performance from Stoffel Vandoorne who finished 12th after starting from the back of the grid following a last-minute power unit change.
The Belgian has shown improvement over the course of his first F1 season, scoring points in Singapore and Malaysia to move ahead of teammate Fernando Alonso in the drivers’ standings.
The 25-year-old will be hoping for more solid drives in 2018 with the new Renault engine.
