Sports Formula One: Lewis Hamilton wins US Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton has strengthened his championship ambitions after winning the US Grand Prix to extend his lead on the Formula One table.

The Mercedes driver pipped his teammate Nico Rosberg who started in pole position to win the pulsating race after overtaking the German driver and powered to the finish line.

Hamilton has now extended the gap between him and Rosberg to 24 points, and will now hope not to fumble in the remaining two races to be able to claim the title.

The British driver has now won his 10th race of the season, his fifth in a row, but he do be glad how he mustered enough courage to overtake Rosberg.

Hamilton moved down the inside of Rosberg at Turn 12, and it was where all the difference was made.

"I'm really grateful to be up front," he said. "It is such a privilege to be representing my country and to be at the top of the driver wins is quite special. The car was great today."
