The Mercedes driver can win the fourth Drivers' Championship of his Formula One career if he finishes fifth or higher at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.
And he'll begin the race on the second row of the grid after qualifying third, just behind Vettel and Verstappen.
Hamilton has suggested he's in no mood to settle for a place on the podium ahead of the Mexico City showdown though.
And he's offered a hint about the tactics he could adopt if he starts well on the 975m run down to Turn One.
If I get a good start and am in a good position I will go for it
Speaking after qualifying, Hamilton explained: "It's a long way down to Turn One, so we should have some fun tomorrow.
"At the moment there is no risk to take. If I get a good start and am in a good position I will go for it."
Hamilton is 66 points clear of nearest rival Vettel going into the Mexican Grand Prix.
