F1: Ferrari delay Hamilton's title win

Briton now expected to clinch championship in Mexico

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, October 22 - Kimi Raikkonen won the US Grand Prix Sunday delaying Lewis Hamilton's fifth F1 title win.
    Sebastian Vettel was only third, however, after a tailspin near the start.
    Hamilton, who came third and now has a 70-point lead over Vettel, is now expected to clinch the championship in Mexico next week.
    There are three races left.
    That means that if Vettel wins in Mexico, he will require just an eighth placed finish to win the title.
    Should Vettel fail to win in Mexico, Hamilton will be crowned world champion regardless of where he finishes.
    Mercedes' Briton is looking to equal his idol Manuel Fangio's five world crowns.
    At the moment he has four titles, like Ferrari's German ace Vettel.
    Vettel said Sunday "I'm disappointed about my race but happy for Raikkonen".
