Lewis Hamilton secures third title with victory at U.S. Grand Prix
Austin [25 October 2015]
Lewis Hamilton took his third world title with victory at a dramatic U.S. Grand Prix after team-mate Nico Rosberg threw away his chance of victory in the final laps of the race and finished second.
Hamilton now ranks alongside the likes of Ayrton Senna, Sir Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda in F1's record books after he secured the margin of points he needed over both Rosberg and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who finished third. However, it was far from plain sailing with two safety cars, six changes of the lead and eight retirements during the race.
