Hamilton wins crazy German GP as Vettel crashes out in the rain.
Hockenheim [22 July 2018]
Lewis Hamilton won a dramatic German Grand Prix after title rival
Sebastian Vettel crashed out from the lead in wet conditions.
Hamilton, who started 14th on the grid, led home a Mercedes one-two at Hockenheim, but only after team orders (for both Ferrari and Mercedes), a rain shower and a Safety Car had mixed and re-mixed the order. Vettel's failure to finish -- after sliding off the road in Hockenheim's stadium section while running slick tyres in damp conditions -- means Hamilton has taken a 17-point lead in the drivers' championship with ten races remaining.
Although the race swung on a rain shower on lap 44, the German Grand Prix wasn't without drama up to that point. Hamilton had fought his way back into contention with a long stint on the soft tyres from 14th on the grid, while a split strategy at Ferrari saw Kimi Räikkonen, who finished third, and Vettel tripping over each other.
