Lewis Hamilton wins Hungarian Grand Prix


Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton won the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday to signal McLaren's return to form after a run of 10 races without success.

Kimi Raikkonen, driving the only Ferrari in the race after Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa suffered a serious head injury in qualifying, was second but under investigation by stewards for colliding with Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel at the start.

Australian Mark Webber finished third for Red Bull to go second in the championship, 18.5 points behind Britain's Jenson Button with seven races remaining. Vettel, who had been second, failed to finish.

Brawn GP's Button had a frustrating afternoon in the Hungarian heat, struggling to get performance out of the car's tyres and finishing a disappointing seventh after starting eighth.
