2018 Brazilian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton, starting from pole position, led the field away from the start and looked comfortable controlling the race until a pit stop for new tyres allowed the hard charging Max Verstappen to close on the Englishman passing him approaching Turn 1 and taking the lead.

Sadly the Red Bull driver lost the lead a short while later when he fell foul of some shocking driving by Force India's Esteban Ocon, the Frenchman crashing in to Verstappen in a ridiculous attempt to unlap himself from the race leader. Hamilton benfitted and eventually crossed the line ahead of Verstappen with Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari trailing in in third place. 

Hamilton's win sealed Mercedes fifth succesive constructors' crown.
