Lewis Hamilton may have partied in Texas with his Mercedes team after his United States Grand Prix triumph, but he has no intention of relaxing as he targets the title in Mexico next weekend. His fifth win in six races since the end of August has not only propelled him to within comfortable reach of his fourth world crown. Hamilton, who on Sunday started from a record 72nd career pole, was the undoubted star of the show and will be champion again if he finishes in the top five in Mexico.
