Verstappen wins Mexican GP, Lewis Hamilton takes 2017 championship

Max Verstappen took victory in a dramatic Mexican Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton survived a collision with Formula 1 title rival Sebastian Vettel to clinch his fourth world championship

23:59 The podium bizarrely turns into a DJ set as the trophy ceremony ends.

23:58 Champagne time on the podium!

23:56 Raikkonen again sporting some shades on the podium. Verstappen allowed to join him this week. He looks delighted with an utterly dominant drive to victory.

23:54

23:53 "Well done Kevin, great drive!" Haas is very happy with Magnussen's eighth placed finish in the slowest car in the field!

23:51

23:50

23:49 "Red Bull was too quick today. We tried everything we could." Bottas had no answer for Verstappen today.

23:48

23:48 The start was crucial. I was just looking after the tyres. The car was incredible. After last week, this result feels great. I was cruising!" Winner Verstappen is delighted with that drive to his third career victory in F1.

23:47 "It doesn't feel real man. It's not the race you want when you're 40s down, but I never gave up." It hasn't sunk in for Hamilton yet...

23:46 Bottas offers his congratulations to team-mate Hamilton over team radio as Lewis addresses the crowd.

23:45

23:45 Hamilton gets a congratulatory message from Brazilian footballer Neymar and is now confronted by David Coulthard.

23:44

23:44 "I'd like to say a big thanks to everybody in this team. What you've done the past couple of years is incredible. I'm so grateful." Hamilton completes some celebratory doughnuts for good measure.

23:43 Hamilton completes the slowing down lap with a Union Jack trailing from his car's cockpit.

23:42 "Lewis this is Toto. Not the race we wanted but who cares?! Four times world champion - congratulations!"

23:41 LEWIS HAMILTON TAKES 4TH WORLD DRIVERS' CHAMPIONSHIP!!! ????????????????⚡️

Passing the microphone back to Lewis soon... ???? #LH4 #F1

23:41 Hamilton puts his hands to his head as he crosses the line ninth and realises what he's done.

23:40 Bottas and Raikkonen complete the podium.

23:40 And Hamilton crosses the line to become a four-time world champion!

23:40 A stunning effort from the Red Bull man.

23:40 Hamilton enters the stadium tucked up behind Magnussen, who he doesn't need to pass...

23:40 Max Verstappen wins the Mexican Grand Prix!

23:38 Last lap.

23:38 Alonso asks if Hamilton went off the track to make that pass (he didn't). He is told it was "good racing".

23:37

23:37 Vettel nicks fastest lap off Verstappen with a 1m18.785s effort with only two laps left to run.

23:36 Hamilton goes to the outside for Turn 4, Alonso fights as hard as he can, but this time Hamilton makes it stick! Just imagine if that McLaren had a decent engine in it. Great action.

23:35 Hamilton goes to the outside again, and again Alonso aggressively fends him off into Turn 1!

23:34 "You're doing a good job, Lewis, just keep the pressure on. You'll break his DRS to Magnussen..."

23:34 Crucially, that fight has lost Alonso DRS to Magnussen, but Hamilton wasn't close enough to attack either.

23:33

23:33 Hamilton tries his round-the-outside trick at Turn 1 again on Alonso, but Alonso doesn't play ball in situations like that, and he forces the world champion in waiting to back out of it. Hamilton attacks again down the next straight, but Alonso covers that off, and Hamilton makes a bit of a mess of the fiddly slow corners that followed. Magnussen gets some breathing space up ahead.

23:32

23:32 New fastest lap for leader Verstappen as this race nears its end. 1m18.892s and a new lap record.

23:31 Alonso doesn't have to worry about Hamilton too much at the moment, so he has a go at attacking Magnussen into Turn 1, but doesn't quite get alongside. He's also jumping out of the hot air from the car ahead where he can. Everyone needs to manage temperatures here.
