FORMULA ONE

LEWIS HAMILTON has vowed to keep the feel-good factor going when Formula One roars back into action after its mid-season break.

Hamilton (left) heads to Belgium with a 19-point lead over Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg and said: “It’s been a proud few weeks for British sport, with the Olympics and Cal Crutchlow becoming the first British MotoGP winner in over 30 years. I’ll do my best to keep the flag flying this weekend.”

Hamilton has taken 135 points from 150 since May’s Spanish Grand Prix.
