2015 Mexico - Post-Race: Sergio Perez: 'Everything was worth it for this moment' (SeventyTwoBucks)

Nico Rosberg won the first Mexican Grand Prix since 1992 on Sunday for his fourth victory this season, denying Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton in his bid to tie the Formula One record of 13 victories in a season.

Rosberg gained a sliver of satisfaction in defeating Hamilton, who has beaten him to the season championship the past two years.

Hamilton, the runner-up, has 10 victories this season with two races left. Rosberg is now second in the driver standings ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.

Rosberg started from the pole and avoided the mistakes that doomed him a week earlier in the United States. He held off Hamilton at the start, and again over the final 13 laps as Hamilton closed in. Williams' Vatteri Bottas finished third.

Vettel started third but crashed on Lap 52 and didn't finish. His race started with a punctured tire through the first turn.

Formula One's first race in Mexico in 23 years drew massive crowds, most of them cheering Force India's Mexican driver Sergio Perez, who finished eighth.
