Lewis Hamilton Dominates Hungarian GP
Posted in Hungarian GP, Lewis Hamilton, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton took his first victory of the 2009 season at Hungarian GP after pole sitter Renault's Fernando Alonso made an early pit stop on Sunday. It is his first victory since October last year. Hamilton really completed a remarkable turnaround for McLaren by dominating the race ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. Raikkonen's second place was a big boost for Ferrari who had gone into the race with only one driver following Felipe Massa's high-speed crash in qualifying, which resulted in the Brazilian undergoing emergency surgery in Hungary.
Red Bull's Mark Webber was third with Brawn's Jenson Button down in seventh.
