MEXICO CITY — Lewis Hamilton keeps climbing his way up the list of Formula One’s greatest drivers.

The top now looks very much in sight.

The British driver won his fifth career F1 championship with a fourth-place finish Sunday at the Mexican Grand Prix. It was a race dominated by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, but one that will be remembered for Hamilton tying the late Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina for the second-most championships in F1 history.

That Lewis Hamilton will clinch his fifth world championship in Mexico City on Sunday remains almost a certainty. Doing so with the celebratory flourish of victory however will require the British driver to be on absolutely top form after Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo claimed pole position, locking out the front row with his teammate Max Verstappen.

If it is a race contested with the same fierce competition that defined a thrilling qualifying, it should at least prove to be a memorable meeting at which the British driver wraps up the title.

MERCEDES Lewis Hamilton has cruised to victory at the Japanese Grand Prix to take another major step towards his fifth Formula One world title.

Hamilton was helped by a rash overtaking move by Ferrari title rival Sebastian Vettel, who collided with Max Verstappen while trying to overtake the Dutch driver.

The accident on the eighth lap, after Vettel had moved from eighth on the grid to fourth, spun the Ferrari driver off the track, putting him back to 19th, before he eventually finished sixth.
