Lewis Hamilton has taken his world championship fight with Nico Rosberg to the wire by claiming his first Brazilian GP on a day of epic drama at Interlagos.
K.J.
Wright Jersey . Defying heavy rain, two race stoppages and five separate
Safety Car deployments, Hamilton mastered the conditions to deliver an
inch-perfect masterclass in the wet and finally break his Interlagos duck.This
is the race I have been dreaming of winning since I was very, very young, said
Hamilton. It was a hard, hard grand prix to win and today was one of the most
difficult in terms of rain and aquaplaning. But Rosberg will still clinch the
title in the season-concluding Abu Dhabi GP in two weeks time if he finishes on
the podium after a strategic mistake by Red Bull enabled the German to finish
second behind Hamilton in Sao Paulo.WATCH: What a gentleman, Lewis!Max
Verstappen had charged past the world championship leader with a bold move
around the outside of Turn Three but then tumbled down the field after
making two extra pit-stops when Red Bull mistakenly gambled on intermediate
tyres in the hope that conditions would improve. After falling out of the top 10
with just 12 laps left, the Dutchman then produced a series of stunning
overtakes to finish in third and deservedly claim the Driver of the Day award.
Red Bulls Max Verstappen was voted driver of the day, and after this display in
the Brazilian Grand Prix, you can see why. That was one of the best drives Ive
seen in Formula 1, said Red Bull boss Christian Horner. His recovery was
amazing. Verstappen drive one of the best everAs chaos and crashes erupted
behind him, Hamilton led every lap with a wheel-perfect performance in
treacherous conditions which saw Kimi Raikkonen crash out just seconds after the
race had restarted and Romain Grosjean hit the wall even before the Grand
Prix had started. A few seconds after the Brazilian GP restart, Kimi Raikkonen
crashed on the pit straight to bring out the red flag Hamiltons astonishing pace
superiority over Rosberg was such that, had the race run to its entirety and his
leads of various lengths not been regularly wiped out by the plethora of Safety
Car deployments and race stoppages, he was on course to beat his team-mate to
the chequered flag by over a minute.Between lap 29, when the race resumed
following Raikkonens crash and lap 49, when Felipe Massa hit the wall to bring
his final race in Brazil to a premature end, Hamilton had streaked 23 seconds
clear of the sister Silver Arrows. During this period Rosberg nearly spun, but
just managed to keep his Mercedes pointing the right way after hitting a puddle
exiting the final corner. Hamilton rues Rosbergs unbelievable luckBut, heading
to Abu Dhabi with a 12-point buffer and only requiring third place to clinch the
title, Rosberg remains the heavy favourite to end the year as the drivers
champion.I can live with a second place, the German acknowledged. It worked out
fine.Updated Drivers StandingsFurther down the field, Toro Rossos Carlos Sainz
drove doggedly for sixth behind Sergio Perez and Sebastian Vettel while Saubers
Felipe Nasr finished in ninth after a winning a race-long battle with Esteban
Ocon, who eventually finished 12th. Its a result which means the Swiss outfit
have climbed above Manor in the Constructors Championship. For both teams, the
financial repercussions could be enormous. For the all-Mercedes world
championship battle between Hamilton and Rosberg, the real significance of the
result in Brazil will only become clear on November 27. Mercedes Lewis Hamilton
does the noble thing and offers one of the grid girls a team jacket to keep her
warm at the Brazilian GP. Brazilian GP race result1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes,
