Hamilton wins F1 Hungarian GP
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest for a record fifth time on Sunday to take the championship lead from teammate Nico Rosberg, who finished second.
“The start was everything,” said Hamilton, who before this victory was tied with Michael Schumacher for most wins at the Hungaroring, with four. “I got a good start. I had one of the Red Bulls on the inside so I was pressured quite a lot into turn one. What a day!”
Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo was third, followed by Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
Hamilton has five F1 victories this season for 192 points, with Rosberg at 186 and Ricciardo third with 115.
Rosberg won the first four races this year, but Hamilton has won five of the last six. Verstappen is the only non-Mercedes driver to win a race in 2016.
