Lewis Hamilton rewrote the history books as only the third driver to win five world championships after claiming fourth spot at the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday.
Lewis Hamilton only needed to finish in seventh place or higher in order to win the title, regardless of where rival Sebastian Vettel would finish.
The Brit cruised to a fourth place finish behind Max Verstappen (1), Sebastian Vettel (2), and Kimi Raikkonen(3).
Hamilton joins the elite group of Argentine Jaun Fangio and is two world championships behind record holder, Michael Schumacher.
What would have seemed impossible is now in sight for Hamilton, who will look to surpass or equal Schumacher’s record of seven championships.
