Looks like the title will have to wait a little longer for Lewis Hamilton because even though he won the Mexico Grand Prix, the title rivals in the podium, 2nd placer Sebastian Vettel and 3rd placer Valtteri Bottas, delayed Hamilton's world champion goals to another race. Behind Hamilton's victory and the title rivals delayed Hamilton's title schedule comes more drama in Mexico as Danil Kvyat got slapped with a post-race penalty after a clash that ended Nico Hulkenberg's race, then Max Verstappen's battle against Bottas ended in a tire puncture for the rising Red Bull star.

After the drama at Mexico, Hamilton still leads with 363 points while Bottas is in 2nd with 289 points and Charles Leclerc's in 3rd with 236 points.

The next race is at Circuit of the Americas for the United States Grand Prix on the 3rd of November.
