US Grand Prix LIVE stream: TV channel, start time, how to watch on TV and online

Lewis Hamilton can win his fifth world title in Austin tonight by finishing eight points above Sebastian Vettel.

The Brit will start the race from pole position while his German rival must fight his way from fifth after being slapped with a three-place grid penalty for speeding during a red flag in practice.

If Hamilton can claim the Drivers’ Championship with three races to spare then he will equal Juan Manuel Fangio’s record and become the joint-second most decorated Formula One driver of all time.

He would then be just two world titles behind the legendary Michael Schumacher – but Vettel will not give up this World Championship without a fight.
