Lewis Hamilton Wins German Grand Prix and Takes First Place Standing in F1

Driving for McLaren, Lewis Hamilton won the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim last Sunday. Beyond the title of champion at the Grand Prix, Hamilton now also enjoys a four point lead as the driver at the front of the Formula One standings.

Renault’s Nelson Piquet Jr. placed second and Ferrari’s Felipe Massa came in third behind Hamilton who managed a 5.6 second margin by the race’s end. The twenty-three year old Hamilton had a grim start when he was forced into a delayed pit-stop which eventually had him rejoining the circuit significantly behind competitors. Luck and skill won out however and the McLaren driver was able to close the gap and emerge triumphant despite the very present possibility of failure. Hamilton reported that he would have much preferred staying out in front as much as possible but was set on taking first place despite the setback. Ron Dennis, McLaren’s Team Principal defended the strategy and praised Hamilton’s skills as part of why they were able to take such a risk.

Just the same, the McLaren team is hard at work learning from the mistakes which accompanied the pit strategy and are determined to come out on top of the F1 races this season. Hamilton is next set to race at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, scheduled for August 3rd.
