Lewis Hamilton Wins 1st Race for Mercedes GP in Hungary
By SENATUS Motoring | 29 July 2013

Former 2008 World Champion and Briton Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes won the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole on Sunday, with Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen second and defending champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull third. Hamilton ended weeks of expectation and frustration on Sunday when he finally won his first race for Mercedes by claiming a dominant text-book triumph in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 28-year-old Briton led from pole position to the chequered flag, apart from three short spells for pit-stops, as he secured his fourth victory at the Hungaroring in sweltering conditions.

The 2008 champion came home 11 seconds clear of Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus and third-placed defending triple world champion Sebastien Vettel of Red Bull, who was unable to force his way into second place in the closing laps.

It was Hamilton's 22nd win of his career and a success that restored him among the challengers for this year's drivers' championship.

He is now fourth in the 2013 title race with 124 points behind leader Vettel on 172 and Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso on 134 and 133 respectively.
