Lewis Hamilton secured his fourth win of the season after driving a fantastic race in the 2012 United States Grand Prix to finish ahead of championship rivals Sebastien Vettel and Fernando Alonso.
Hamilton lost second place to Webber at the start but managed to re-overtake during the early parts of the race, he then charged towards Vettel, and took the lead on lap 42.
Webber retired due to a KERS failure, therefore handing third place to Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso who drove a lonely race alongside teammate Felipe Massa who settled for fourth.
Jenson Button came from 12th on grid to take fifth for McLaren, ahead of Lotus duo Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean.
Nico Hulkenberg crossed the finish line in eighth for Force India, followed by Williams drivers Pastor Maldonado and Bruno Senna; the pair clashed near the end of the race on turn 1, but came both out fine.
Red Bull goes into Brazil with the World Constructors’ Championship in their pocket, but the Drivers’ fight remains open between Sebastien Vettel and Fernando Alonso.
