The 20-year-old, set to become the youngest ever Formula One champion in Mexico next weekend, won by more than 13 seconds on a one-stop strategy.
His teammate and closest title rival George Russell, now 123 points behind with 125 still to be won, started sixth and finished eighth - just enough to keep the championship hanging by a thread.
"On Kimi's side the main headline is that for me (that's) the best race that he's delivered so far," Wolff said.
