Max Verstappen won the 2018 Mexican Grand Prix, with Scuderia Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen both finishing on the podium.
Verstappen’s second consecutive victory in Mexico means that Vettel’s final chance of keeping the championship battle alive until Brazil had slipped away.
Lewis Hamilton was duly handed his fifth world title despite finishing Sunday’s race in fourth place behind Kimi Raikkonen, following a late retirement for polesitter Daniel Ricciardo with engine-related problems.
