He is now just two more titles away to place himself alongside the legendary Michael Schumacher.
The result in Mexico City means Hamilton can now enjoy the season-ending races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi, knowing he can place anywhere on the grid and still not slip up to his Ferrari rival Sebastian Vettel.
Celebrities, including Usain Bolt extended their wishes to Hamilton for winning the fifth F1 World Title.
