Bottas takes Austin win as Hamilton secures historic sixth F1 title
Austin [3 November 2018]
Valtteri Bottas’ fourth win of the season at the United States Grand
Prix wasn’t enough to deny his Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton
from claiming a historic sixth world title, the Briton finishing the
race in second, having fended off a late attack from Red Bull’s Max
Verstappen.
Bottas had to win at the Circuit of The Americas to keep his slim championship hopes alive. And while the Finn drove a fantastic race from pole position to do just that, Hamilton made a one-stop strategy work to secure a third consecutive drivers' crown, and join Michael Schumacher as one of only two drivers to win as many as six F1 championship titles.
A late charge from Max Verstappen, meanwhile, wasn’t enough to put the Dutchman in with a shot of victory, as he secured his second straight podium in Austin, finishing just 0.854s off Hamilton.
