#3 2017 United States Grand Prix
The 2017 United States Grand Prix was a special race for the Silver Arrows as a strong show by its drivers at the Circuit of the Americas helped the team secure its fourth successive World Constructors’ Championship.
Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel split the Mercedes teammates on the grid as Lewis Hamilton took the pole position.
Vettel’s blistering start propelled him into the lead on lap one; however, the German’s lead was short-lived as Hamilton wrestled the lead away from Vettel on lap 6. Since then, Lewis Hamilton held his ground to claim yet another victory at the United States Grand Prix.
Hamilton’s scintillating first and Bottas’ hard-earned fifth earned the Silver Arrows 35 points, which were enough to clinch the constructors’ championship.
The other notable driver during the race was Max Verstappen. Driving the Red Bull machine, the Dutchman started the race from the sixteenth place but managed to secure the fourth place with a mesmerising drive.
