Column Ialdo Belo – Amazing Race

In an exciting event, Lewis Hamilton conquered his third F1 world title at Circuit of Americas in Austin, Texas, this Sunday. The Briton crowned a season without mistakes, so far, and had a little bit of luck when his team-mate and title contender Nico Rosberg went out of track for a few precious seconds, but enough to give back to Lewis the first position and consequently the victory.

Rosberg´s behavior after the race just demonstrated how frustrated he was, but a championship is not lost in a single mistake and the trophy is in the hands of the one who really deserved this year.

Hamilton is the first Briton to win three world titles and equals his idol Ayrton Senna.

Once again Max Verstappen showed that his has what it takes finishing in a fantastic fourth place. Also: the youngest driver in F1 history gave a hard time to former world champion Kimi Raikkonen who was driving a very superior Ferrari.

Accidents, spinnings, safety car several times, engine problems, break problems and… hurricane Patricia. The 2015 US Grand Prix will be remembered as one of the most
extraordinary races of all times, certainly.

With three races remaining to the end of the season, I´m absolutely sure that Hamilton will be still pursuing victories just for the pleasure of win and that is what makes a difference between a real champion and an ordinary driver.
