2018 F1 Mexican GP: practice, qualifying, race start time, betting odds, TV guide
Can Britain’s Lewis Hamilton secure the 2018 F1 title in Mexico City?
After missing out in the United States last Sunday, Hamilton heads to the Mexican Grand Prix knowing that he just needs to finish seventh or higher to secure the 2018 championship.
Even if rival Sebastian Vettel wins the remaining three races in his Ferrari, British driver Hamilton only requires five points from Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi to be sure of a fifth career title.
