November 1, 2015 – Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg took his fourth victory of the 2015 Formula 1 season on Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix after a commanding drive saw him defeat team mate Lewis Hamilton by 1.9s.
Valtteri Bottas took third for Williams, as Ferrari recorded their first double DNF since 2006.
Kvyat held on to fourth, fending off team mate Daniel Ricciardo, while Felipe Massa finished sixth in the sister Williams. Sergio Perez was beaten to seventh in his home race by Force India team mate Nico Hulkenberg, and Toro Rosso’s Max Verstappen and the Lotus of Romain Grosjean completed the top ten.
It was a miserable afternoon for Ferrari. Sebastian Vettel dropped to the back on lap one after picking up a puncture in first-turn contact with Ricciardo. A Turn 8 spin on lap 18 then hampered his fightback, and he then ended up in the wall on lap 52 when he went straight on at Turn 7, triggering the sole safety-car period.
Kimi Raikkonen, meanwhile, had risen to sixth from his P19 start when a collision with Bottas ended his race on lap 22 thanks to a broken right-rear suspension.
