Hamilton wins again

3:40pm Sunday 20th July 2008

Lewis Hamilton made it back-to-back victories for the first time in 13 months by taking the chequered at the end of a remarkable German Grand Prix.

A severe shunt involving Toyota's Timo Glock just beyond the midway point of the 67-lap race at Hockenheim had resulted in the evaporation of a comfortable lead established by Hamilton.

But with a helping hand from McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen and two stunning overtaking manoeuvres on title rival Felipe Massa in his Ferrari and Nelson Piquet in the closing stages, Hamilton triumphed to open up four-point cushion in the championship standings.
