Russell started from first after claiming the first Sprint victory of his career on Saturday, and never relinquished control of a dramatic 토토사이트contest at Interlagos on Sunday, which featured two Safety Car interruptions.

At the restart after the first Safety Car on lap seven, Hamilton and world champion Max Verstappen collided, with the Red Bull driver sustaining damage that forced him to pit and a five-second time penalty, before he먹튀커뮤니티 ultimately fought back to finish sixth.

Hamilton dropped to eighth but brilliantly recovered to second, before a Safety Car that followed Lando Norris' retirement brought him into striking distance as the race resumed with 11 laps remaining.

However, Russell stayed calm to keep Hamilton 먹튀검증커뮤니티out of DRS range in the closing stages and crown a brilliant debut season with the team in which the 24-year-old leads the seven-time world champion by 23 points going into next weekend's season finale in Abu Dhabi.

The victory also offers significant consolation for Mercedes in a season where their eight-year streak of constructors' titles was ended by Red Bull, and brings them within 23 points of second-placed Ferrari ahead of the final race.

Moments after the Hamilton-Verstappen incident, Norris and Charles Leclerc also collided, with the Ferrari driver fighting back from the back of the field to finish fourth, behind his team-mate Carlos Sainz, who completed the podium.
