United States Grand Prix 2014 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Lewis Hamilton dominated the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, defeating Nico Rosberg and Daniel Ricciardo to extend his championship lead with three races remaining. Starting from pole, Hamilton controlled the Austin race with authority, pulling away from Rosberg to secure his sixth consecutive victory. The triumph moved him 24 points clear in the championship standings, requiring only a second-place finish in the final three races to secure the title.

The race showcased Hamilton's complete command of the 2014 season's final phase, as he delivered another flawless performance under pressure. Rosberg followed home in second but had no answer to Hamilton's pace and racecraft. Ricciardo's podium for Red Bull continued his excellent first season with the team, cementing his status as one of F1's brightest talents and comprehensively outperforming four-time champion teammate Vettel.

Hamilton's Austin victory put him on the brink of his second World Championship, needing only to maintain consistency through the final races. His streak of six consecutive wins represented one of the most dominant periods of any driver's career, completely reversing the post-Spa deficit to establish overwhelming control. For Rosberg, mathematical possibilities remained, but momentum had decisively swung Hamilton's way.
