Lewis Hamilton wins US Grand Prix to seal his third World Championship

Lewis Hamilton becomes the second British driver to win three Formula 1 driver's title

Hamilton pressured team-mate Nico Rosberg into a mistake during a frantic last 10 laps after a safety car and swept by to take his 10th win of 2015. It was an exciting climax to a race of fluctuating fortunes, lead changes and superb racing in changing conditions.
Hamilton becomes only the second British driver after Sir Jackie Stewart to win three Formula 1 drivers' titles. At a post-race press conference, Hamilton says he remembers driving back with his dad after his first World Championship victory, the two chanting "we are the champions." He said:
“This is a dream come true. It is a platform for me to inspire young people: never give up on your dreams and desires, just keep working on it.
I never for one second believed that I couldn't do it. We pushed and we pushed and we pushed.
It's a very humbling experience...I feel very, very blessed today,”
