Hamilton wins 6th Hungarian Formula 1 GP
Budapest, July 29 : Reigning Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton of Britain (Mercedes) on Sunday won the Hungarian Grand Prix for the sixth time of his career, increasing his lead in the 2018 driver standings to 24 points ahead of his German rival Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari).
Four-time world champion Hamilton started from pole and finished with a commanding 17.123-second lead over Vettel, 20 seconds ahead of Kimi Raikkonen of Finland (Ferrari), earning his second straight win and his fifth this season after 12 of 21 races, reported Efe.
"What a beautiful day," Hamilton said following his 67th career victory here at the Hungaroring circuit. "A big thank you to everyone back at the factory."
Australia's Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull) came fourth, ahead of Finland's Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes), while Spaniards Fernando Alonso (McLaren) and Carlos Sainz (Renault) were eighth and ninth on the timesheet respectively.
"It was a tough race," Vettel admitted. "P2 was not what we wanted this weekend, but I think it was the maximum today."
Vettel lost precious seconds due to a botched pit stop on Lap 40, and also touched his Mercedes rival Bottas while passing.
Toward the end of the race, Bottas had his own incident when he knocked Ricciardo off the track as the Red Bull driver was attempting to overtake. Race stewards ruled it an honest error.
Ricciardo was named Driver of the Day by Formula One for advancing to a fourth-place finish after starting from the 12th position.
Formula One's next race is to be the Belgian Grand Prix, scheduled for August 26.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
