A brilliant race in a brilliant season for Lewis Hamilton. 

Three-time world champion, and you get the feeling that his run of world titles won't end there. 

That's all from us, but I'll leave you to watch the rest of the highlights. See you next week for Mexico.

Jenson Button finished a superb sixth today, his highest finish this season and got to enjoy a bit of racing too. He was not massively over the moon though.

"Our pace is nowhere near what we expected here," he said. "We need to go away and look for the reasons why. We just got eaten up as always.

"I'm pleased to finish sixth but the pace of the car was not that exciting. Great to get some points and it was an interesting race as you are making calls all the time. We will get there.

"Lastly congrats to my fellow countryman Lewis Hamilton."

Wait, wait, wait. Stop everything.

There were eight retirements today and not ONE of them was Pastor Maldonado. 

A race like that was surely begging for some Maldonado mishaps. Nope. He finished eighth. 

Even more quotes from Lewis Hamilton. He tells the BBC: "The emotion is hard to describe. I feel like I could run a marathon now. It is a humbling experience. I now have the same amount of titles as Ayrton. It doesn't seem right, it doesn't seem real.

"I remember every day of my racing career and I'm just grateful for it all. The only one that could get in my way was myself.

"Before I know it I will be at home watching tv with kids running around, so I just want to enjoy it. There was never a moment I didn't believe I could do it. The only time I started thinking about the championship was with 10 laps to go and I was behind Nico. That was the title right there.

"You either stand back and accept second or man up and go for it. I was looking forward to racing Nico but he made it a lot easier for me. It is not easy to have me as a team-mate. In a friendly way I'm the worst team-mate you could happen."

Wherever Lewis Hamilton is celebrating, he discussed his win with DC and Suzi Perry a little earlier.

"I'm the worst team-mate you can have," he says.

Don't think there will be any disagreement there from Nico Rosberg...

Somewhere in Austin right about now, Sir Elton John is belting out some of his greatest hits (hopefully while still wearing the amazing tracksuit above) with Lewis Hamilton in attendance. He was desperate to celebrate this title win at Elton's gig.

Midnight in the UK is getting ever closer, and things are getting ever stranger on this page.

From Lewis Hamilton's hair to super Lewis. Why not?

There's a reason behind the madness. Hamilton said he felt like a mixture of superman and Ayrton Senna today.

Like the graphics we've been liberally splashing through this live commentary page? We've got plenty, even one of Hamilton's hairstyles throughout the season.

After all of today's excitement It is easy to forget that we still have a season to complete.

There's three races remaining, starting with Mexico next week. If Hamilton wins all three then he will move level with Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher on most wins in a season (13).

The back page of the Times newspaper is devoted to Lewis Hamilton.

"After winning the US Grand Prix, an emotional Hamilton, whose career has taken him from a council estate in Stevenage to the pantheon of motor racing, hailed his victory as an inspiration for youngsters," writes Kevin Eason.

Good man Peter. Good man.
