MEXICO CITY - Lewis Hamilton won the Mexican Grand Prix for Mercedes on Sunday after a first-lap scare but the Briton will have to wait until next weekend’s race in Texas to secure his sixth Formula One world championship.
The victory stretched his lead over Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas to 74 points with 78 to be won from the last three races — making the title a formality that will surely be wrapped up in Austin. “We came here thinking we were on the back foot, knowing it was a difficult race for us but we pulled through,” said Hamilton, who had not finished on the podium in Mexico for the past two years.“I don’t mind ,” he added. “I love racing and I take it one race at a time.”
Hamilton tracked on the grass, wrestling with the steering wheel to prevent a race-wrecking spin, and returned in fifth place with Bottas losing a place to seventh.
