McLaren's Lewis Hamilton won the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas on Sunday while Red Bull's championship leader Sebastian Vettel failed to clinch his third consecutive drivers' title on his 100th career start.

Red Bull did celebrate another victory, however, securing the constructors' title for a third straight year with Vettel finishing second in the race.
