MEXICO CITY, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton became Britain's first four-times Formula One world champion at the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday despite a first corner collision with title rival Sebastian Vettel that dropped both to the back of the field.
In a race won by Red Bull's Dutch 20-year-old Max Verstappen, the 32-year-old Mercedes driver fought back from last place to finish ninth while Ferrari (NYSE:RACE)'s Vettel climbed from 19th to fourth.
Hamilton's team mate Valtteri Bottas finished second with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen third.
