The Briton should seal a sixth world title in Sunday’s US
Grand Prix even if he did fail to win from pole in
Texas last yearThe
Mexico and US Grands Prix swapped places in Formula One’s calendar this year but
Lewis Hamilton remains on his usual schedule. The Briton won his fifth title in the 19th race of the 2018 season and it will take a miracle to deny him No 6 at the same stage on Sunday.
Though the Circuit of the Americas is often the setting for some of the most exciting racing on the calendar, dramatic does not necessarily imply unpredictable. Hamilton’s seven previous races in Austin have brought him five victories.
