Lewis Hamilton won the Brazilian Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday as Mercedes clinched the Formula One constructors’ world championship for the fifth year in a row.

The win was Hamilton’s 10th of the season and 72nd of his career. The Briton has already won the drivers’ title for a fifth time.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen finished an angry second after a collision with Force India’s Esteban Ocon dumped him out of the lead and a likely victory, while Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen took third.
