The 2015 United States Grand Prix is one of those few races of the season that managed to etch itself into the minds of every Formula One enthusiast as the entire weekend offered loads of drama and brilliant overtaking action.

A rain-hit qualifying session saw Mercedes lock the front row of the grid with Q2 times for the Q3 was cancelled due to treacherous track conditions.

An aggressive move by the Briton forced his teammate Nico Rosberg to run wide on lap 1, which in turn, handed the lead to Lewis Hamilton. Rosberg, on the other hand, slipped further down the grid and was facing an uphill battle to reclaim the lead.

However, an inspired drive by the German ensured that he would reclaim the race lead before the halfway point. On lap 48, fortunes changed as Rosberg surrendered the lead to Hamilton after running wide. This error opened the doors for Hamilton, who held his nerve and took the win to claim his third drivers’ championship.
