win

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Lewis
Hamilton got the Mexican
victory party he craved.
He'll have to wait another
week for a sixth career
championship.
The Mercedes driver over-
came Ferrari's front-row
start to win the Mexican
Grand Prix on Sunday,
pushing him so close to the
season championship that
he's all but guaranteed to
win it next week at the U.S.
Grand Prix in Texas.
"I don't mind. I love rac-
ing," Hamilton said after
climbing out of his car with
a wave to the massive
crowds at the Autodromo
Hermanos Rodriguez. "This
is a race I've wanted to win
for some time. It came to-
gether nicely."
It came together because
Hamilton overcame dam-
age to his car floor from an
opening-lap collision with
Red Bull’s Max Verstap-
pen, and then managed Schroder leads Thunder past Warriors, 120-92
an early tire change for a
shocking 48 laps to drive
away with a comfortable
win over Ferrari’s Sebastian Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (17) shoots in front of Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (7) in the second
half of an NBA basketball game Sunday, Oct. 27, 2019, in Oklahoma City.
