A farewell win with McLaren before his switch to Mercedes AMG has been on the cards for Lewis Hamilton for a few races now. He could, of course, win again in Brazil next Monday morning, but for now his entire collection of 21 grands prix victories have been with the Woking-based outfit.
At the moment there is shared love between Hamilton and McLaren. It will be interesting to see how the relationship continues beyond the final race of 2012.
In pondering Lewis Hamilton’s win at the United States Grand Prix, we must also reflect on the race itself. Held at a new venue, reportedly costing US$400 million, it seems as though the locals, and those nearby, loved having a race in Texas. The official race day attendance figure bandied about is 117,429; a very healthy show of support for F1’s return Stateside.
In keeping with that support, we’ve gathered over 100 of the best pics from the teams across the weekend and you can check them all out after the jump!
