Hamilton secures title

Published

MERCEDES' Lewis Hamilton claimed his fourth F1 world driver’s title in last weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix. And that achievement means the Mercedes driver has gone level on F1 championships with Vettel and Alain Prost. Schumacher, with seven, and Juan Manuel Fangio, with five, are now the only men to have won more F1 titles than Hamilton.

The Mexican Grand Prix presented some unexpected results. A first lap collision with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel pushed both drivers down the race order giving hope to Vettel’s championship hopes. However, a win for Vettel and Hamilton finishing outside the top five was the result needed to keep Vettel’s championship dream alive. The Ferrari driver couldn’t return to the front to offer any chance of moving the championship fight to the next round in Brazil finishing 4th and Hamilton finishing 9th was enough to secure the championship.

The sensation of the race was Red Bull’s Max Verstappen winning by a convincing 19.678 second margin over Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari’s Kimi Räikkönen a further 54.007 second back with only four cars on the lead lap.

Verstappen has thrown down the gauntlet to the championship establishment for next year’s drivers title.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
