Hamilton wins in Brazil, Mercedes takes constructors’ title
SAO PAULO — Five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton won the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, helping his Mercedes team to take the Formula One constructors’ title.
The British driver finished 1.4 seconds ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen completed the podium at Interlagos.
Hamilton’s 10th victory of the season was helped by Force India’s Esteban Ocon, who collided with Verstappen on the 44th lap when the Dutchman led the race. Verstappen had been building his lead over Hamilton, who was using medium tires as he waited for rain that never came in Sao Paulo.
