Hamilton Increases His Lead

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton led the Hungarian GP start to finish adding another win to his already amazing 11 race resume. The Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen tailed behind Hamliton after a great start from third on the grid.

Raikkonen snuck around Heidfeld, who started from 2nd on the dirty side of the track, and kept his position for the remainder of the race.

Raikkonen and teammate Felipe Massa are now effectively out of the running for the world championship and the battle will likely focus on Hamilton and his double world champion teammate Fernando Alonso.

Hamilton extended his lead over Alonso to 7 points following Alonso's 4th place finish. Expect the British press to erupt over the drama between Spain's Alonso and England's Hamilton in the coming summer break.

A final note, the Honda drivers were slower than the Spyker F1! Spyker have been the slowest team on the grid all season until now as the Honda FACTORY team are slower.

1. Hamilton - McLaren
2. Raikkone - Ferrari
3. Heidfeld - BMW
4. Alonso - McLaren
5. Kubica - BMW
6. Schumacher - Toyota
7. Rosberg - Williams
8. Kovalainen - Renault
