Hamilton win pushes title fight to Brazil

The fight for this year’s Formula One world title between Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso will go down to the wire in Brazil next Sunday.

Vettel was forced to settle for second in last night’s United States Grand Prix, a race that was a stunning advert for F1 in America, behind Lewis Hamilton, who conjured the 21st win of his career.

Crucially, with Fernando Alonso third, it means there is now a 13-point gap between the Spaniard and Vettel heading to the Brazilian GP at Interlagos next week.
