10 moments that decided the 2018 F1 title

Lewis Hamilton sealed his fifth world championship with fourth place in the Mexican Grand Prix, capping a remarkable run of seven wins in eight races that blew Sebastian Vettel's title bid out of the water.
Winning the championship with two races to go seemed unlikely for much of the season, with Hamilton and Vettel exchanging the points lead several times before the mighty run of success began.
