British pilot crowned Formula 1 world champion at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez

The British pilot was crowned Formula 1 world champion at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez by finishing ninth in the Mexican Grand Prix, despite the difficult start he had with a collision with Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari.

During the 2017 season of the premier category of motor sports, Hamilton scored points in all his races and did not retire from any race. With this title, it is the fourth he has obtained in his F1 career.

Since the return of Formula 1 to Mexico, it is the first time that a pilot is crowned again at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Previously, British drivers John Surtees in 1964 and Graham Hill in 1968, as well as New Zealander Denny Hulme in 1967, had achieved this feat.
