Max Verstappen put Red Bull's off-track dramas to one side to win the Mexican Grand Prix and claim the record of most victories in a Formula One season.
Forty-eight hours after Red Bull were fined €7 million for breaking the sport's financial rules - before the team went on to boycott Sky Sports' coverage - Verstappen claimed his 14th win of the year.
Michael Schumacher won 13 of the 18 races staged in 2004. Sebastian Vettel recorded the same number of wins from 19 rounds in 2013. But Verstappen now stands alone as the driver with the most wins in a single campaign.
Lewis Hamilton hoped a different tyre strategy to Verstappen would propel him to his first win of the year.
But he crossed the line 15.1 seconds behind Verstappen, with Sergio Perez third. George Russell finished fourth for Mercedes.
Verstappen said: "The start helped me out a lot to stay in the lead. We were on a different strategy but an incredible result. It has been incredible year so far. We are enjoying it and we will try to go for more wins."
Hamilton said it was "awkward" to be booed by the Mexican Grand Prix crowd after the race. Red Bull's Perez pleaded with his fans to stop booing by wagging his finger.
"It has definitely been a bit awkward this time around with boos all day," said Hamilton. "But, nevertheless I have so much love for Mexico and for the people here.
"I was so close [to Verstappen] in that first stint but I think the Red Bull was clearly too fast and ultimately they had the better tyre strategy.
"I'm not sure the hard tyre was the right tyre at the end. I thought we should have started the race on the soft [rather than the medium], but obviously we had the opposite tyre to them."
Hamilton now has only two races - in Brazil on 13 November and Abu Dhabi a week later - to retain his unique record of winning at least one race in each season he has competed - a remarkable streak which stretches back to his first year in 2007.
