HOCKENHEIM, Germany (AFP) — Briton Lewis Hamilton delivered another massive endorsement of his great potential Sunday when he opened a clear lead in this year's drivers' championship by winning the German Grand Prix in thrilling style.
The 23-year-old Englishman, in his McLaren Mercedes-Benz, dominated the early stages and then, after being upset by two Safety Car interventions and some cautious team strategy, proved he could overtake anyone with a dazzling display of passing moves in the final laps.
"Sorry about that," said his McLaren team chief Ron Dennis over the radio system later. "We made it much more difficult for you and we made you drive like that in such a great car."
Hamilton, smiling afterwards, said: "That's ok, Ron. Don't worry about it. We did good in the end, so it is ok."
