Though his own race into fourth place at the Mexican Grand Prix was 'horrible', according to Lewis Hamilton, it was more than enough to see the Mercedes driver successfully defend his world championship crown with two races left to run in the 2018 Formula 1 calendar. It was Hamilton's fifth world championship win, which sees the British ace draw level with Juan Manuel Fangio on the all-time world champion honours list. Only Michael Schumacher has won more, with seven titles.
