On a day Rosberg could have become champion had his team-mate retired, Hamilton ensured the title battle goes on to the penultimate race in Brazil with his 51st career win - drawing him level with Alain Prost for second place in F1s record books.Hamiltons only scare came at the races first corner when he ran wide over the grass after outbraking himself. I led from grass to finish, Hamilton joked afterwards after winning by eight seconds. Rosberg was second after overcoming two separate tussles with Red Bulls Max Verstappen to keep the title race in his hands.The German will clinch his maiden world crown if he wins the Brazilian GP on November 13.Daniel Ricciardo finished fifth but was promoted to third several hours after the race had concluded after penalties for first Max Verstappen, the original podium finisher, and then Sebastian Vettel.Verstappen had taken third on the road but stewards imposed a five-second time penalty while he was waiting to take to the podium after an extraordinary sequence of events in the races closing laps involving the Dutchman, Vettel and Ricciardo. Paul di Resta looks at why Max Verstappen picked up a 5-second penalty, which meant that Ferraris Sebastian Vettel was promoted to third place After a mid-race lunge on Rosberg resulted in him running off the track, Verstappens challenge for second faded and he instead came under attack from Ferraris Vettel, whose weekend came alive following a long first stint on soft tyres.Verstappen hits back at frustrated guy VettelWith three laps to go, Vettel tried to overtake the Red Bull into Turn One but Verstappen ran wide and across the grass, holding position ahead of the Ferrari. With the Dutchman deciding not to cede position, despite his race engineer suggesting he do so, an increasingly irate Vettel started ranting on the radio that the Red Bull driver should give him the place.He has to let me go! yelled Vettel. He has to let me go! Move, move for f*** sake!The four-time champion was also heard uttering an expletive in relation to FIA race director Charlie Whiting.Verstappen crossed the line in third and headed for the podium holding room alongside Hamilton and Rosberg, but the stewards acted swiftly and handed him a five-second penalty. That dropped him to fifth behind team-mate Ricciardo. Ferraris Sebastian Vettel became increasingly frustrated and let rip a barrage of expletive laden radio messages throughout the Mexican GP However, in one final twist late on Sunday night, that eventually became fourth when the stewards added 10 seconds to Vettels race time for a tangle with Ricciardo. The former team-mates made contact at Turn Four while the Ferrari remained bottled up behind Verstappen. Ricciardo dived to the inside, with Vettel moving to cover.Vettel dropped behind both Red Bulls to fifth, with Ricciardo third and Verstappen fourth.The Red Bull duo hit out at Vettels driving and conduct after the race. The German had pulled alongside Verstappens car on the slow-down lap to wave his finger in the Dutchmans direction, while he also said over the radio he wanted to hit somebody.Hee did what everyone has been complaining about - moving under braking, Ricciardo told Sky F1.dddddddddddd Hes smiling now but for me he doesnt deserve to be on the podium. He kept on closing the door under braking and in the end I had nowhere to go.Verstappen added: Its ridiculous what he did. Daniel was alongside him and he just turned into him. Then he is shouting and l dont know how many times he is using very bad language. I think he needs to go back to school. After a dramatic end to the race, Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo feels that Sebastian Vettel shouldve been penalised In the championship battle, two more second places to Hamilton in Brazil and Abu Dhabi remain good enough for Rosberg to become world champion for the first time.But Rosberg now knows a race victory in Sao Paulo in a fortnights time will settle the title fight in his favour and avoid a nail-biting final-race showdown.Ricciardo: Hamilton should have had penalty tooLewis has been too fast this weekend, said Rosberg. I just have to accept second place.Meanwhile, Kimi Raikkonen finished a distant sixth in the second Ferrari after losing ground on a two-stop strategy, with Force India coming out on top overall in a tight battle with Constructors Championship rivals Williams.
