In Pictures: Mexico 2017

What a FANTASTIC weekend. Lots of action at Mexico City, Sebastian Vettel in his "Gina" gets Pole Position, setting a new fastest ever lap at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Max Verstappen wins the race, and Lewis Hamilton becomes a four-time World Champion.

After a thrilling qualifying, the race saw a fast charging Verstappen taking first place on the first three corners, but a surprised Vettel ended up fighting understeer and hitting Hamilton's right rear tire, breaking his front wing. Both had to pit and came out last. Vettel did everything he could to overcome the lost time but it turned out to be too much, finishing the race in a very respectful fourth, setting the fastest lap of the race. Hamilton finished ninth, a lap behind race winner Max Verstappen. Valtteri Bottas finished second, and Kimi Raikkonen completed the podium.
