Having dealt a knockout blow to his rivals and won his third drivers' championship, Formula One star Lewis Hamilton proved more than a match for an altogether different opponent on Wednesday. The Brit, who clinched his second successive title in Austin, Texas on Sunday, took to the wrestling ring in Mexico City ahead of this weekend's race. Hamilton was joined at Arena Mexico, the home of Lucha Libre wrestling, by Mistico, a 32-year-old Mexican whose real name is Luis Ignacio Urive Alvirde and who previously had a spell in WWE. Meaning free wrestling, the term is used to describe the sport in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries.Lewis Hamilton won his third Formula One title last weekend with victory in Austin, TexasThe penultimate race of the season takes place in Mexico this coming SundayHamilton took part in a promotional event which included having a go at professional wrestlingHe was joined in the ring by Mistico and celebrated his win with another wrestler MephistoSee more news and updates on Lewis Hamilton's latest Formula One win in Austin
