Lewis Hamilton turned in a commanding display to win the United States Grand Prix and complete the first leg of what would be a remarkable fightback in the Formula One world championship race.
Hamilton, who started from pole position, led virtually every lap here in Austin to record his 50th career victory and move to within 26 points of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.
