Driver standings - United States 2013 - Hamilton and Bottas jump up the order after a strong race
Published by Christine
Lewis Hamilton's fourth place finish in Austin has allowed him to overtake Kimi Räikkönen for third place in the championship. The Finn, of course, was not there to defend himself, but his fellow countryman of Valtteri Bottas was putting in a strong performance. The Williams driver secured his first points in F1, managed to multiply Williams' current result by five, and leapfrogged his teammate while he was at it.
