Hamilton wins Mexico Grand Prix

Mexico City, Oct 31: Britain's Lewis Hamilton has claimed first place in the Mexican Grand Prix, remaining in touch with rankings leader Nico Rosberg, who finished second.
The two Mercedes drivers had felt the focus sharply on them going into the weekend. Hamilton and Rosberg proved their dominance during qualification at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodrigiuez on Sunday, setting the two fastest times, reports Xinhua.
Hamilton set off in pole position, and apart from a slight wobble on the first lap, led throughout the race. This allowed the British three-time champion to move to 330 points in the drivers' championship, 19 behind Rosberg on 349.
Despite closing the gap somewhat, Hamilton only has two more chances to overtake his teammate, with races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
Barring a disaster, Rosberg can finish behind Hamilton in both outings and still claim the championship.
A heated battle for the second and third places mostly involved Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen.
Verstappen toyed between trying to wrest second place from Rosberg and defending third place from his teammate Daniel Ricciardo and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Verstappen roughly held off his two challengers and crossed in third. However, race officials ruled that he had cut a corner on lap 68, slapping him with a five-second penalty and dropping him to fifth.
Vettel was thus promoted to the podium.
The two Mexican drivers, Sergio Perez and Esteban Gutierrez, finished 10th and 19th respectively.
