F1 2017 calendar dates driver#
Raikkonen passed Bottas on Lap 42 for 2nd, then Vettel passed the Mercedes driver on Lap 51, Verstappen followed on Lap 52.
He managed to pass Vettel on Lap 6 and a speed advantage allowed Hamilton to maintain a relatively commanding lead to the finish with the battle between Vettel, Raikkonen, Verstappen and Bottas then provided the excitement.įerrari Overtakes One Mercedes, But Not The Main One! Hamilton started in pole, but initially lost the lead to Vettel as the race began. At the moment this seems highly unlikely. For Vettel to win the championship now, Hamilton would need to suffer a spectacular failing of his current form – by only achieving 8 points in total from the last 3 races – while Vettel would need to win all 3. Hamilton is now 66 points clear of Vettel, with 75 remaining in the final 3 races. Mercedes secured the Constructors’ title for the 4th year in a row. The huge atmosphere certainly seems to appeal to the Brit, “This was much more like an NFL game, which is exciting.” While Vettel stated that he didn’t “really care, to be honest.” Hamilton began the day by taking Usain Bolt out for a spin in a Mercedes road car and later in the day doing the ‘lightning bolt’ with him on the podium following his win. After today’s race he told the crowd “I think this track is now my favourite track, to be honest.” He has won here 6 times, helping to make it one of his favourite circuits. Today Hamilton edged closer to his 4th world title with his 9th victory this season – in Austin, Texas. Hamilton moves closer to the winning finishing line of 2017
