Hamilton beats Rosberg in Mexico, keeps title bid alive

Defending champion Lewis Hamilton kept alive his title defence with a controlled and controversial victory ahead of championship leader and Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in a stormy and dramatic Mexican Grand Prix.

The 31-year-old Briton came home comfortably ahead of the German to trim his advantage to 19 points with two races remaining after a fiery finish to the 71-lap race.

This saw four-time champion Sebastian Vettel lose his temper during a tempestuous exchange following a clash with teenager Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
