Hamilton wins in Brazil as Mercedes take fifth F1 title

By Daily Sports on November 13, 2018

A lucky Lewis Hamilton won a tense Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday as his Mercedes team clinched the constructors’ title for the fifth year in a row and Max Verstappen raged at a lost opportunity. The win was the 72nd of Hamilton’s stellar career and 10th of a season that has already seen the 33-year-old Briton clinch his fifth championship, delivering Mercedes their fifth successive double.

Hamilton had started on pole position but could not hold off Red Bull’s Verstappen, who led until a collision with Force India backmarker Esteban Ocon on the 44th of 71 laps sent the Dutchman into a spin and put the Mercedes driver back in front. A seething and swearing Verstappen battled back but could not close the gap, finishing runner-up 1.469 seconds adrift of Hamilton, who had never previously won in a season where he has taken the title with races to spare. Verstappen then took matters into his own hands in an angry post-race confrontation with Ocon that led to both being summoned by stewards. Ferrari’s veteran Kimi Raikkonen held off Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo to complete the podium on his 150th start for the Italian team. Ferrari had to score 13 points more than Mercedes to keep their hopes alive until Abu Dhabi at the end of the month but, with Sebastian Vettel finishing only sixth and behind Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas in fifth.
