SILVERSTONE, England: Lewis Hamilton said the racing conditions were so bad at the rainsoaked British Grand Prix he couldn't see through his visor.
Thankfully for the winner of the Formula One race, he was so far ahead his rivals couldn't see him at all.
The McLaren driver who wasted a 12-point drivers championship lead with only two races to go in his rookie season last year restored faith in his ability to win it this time with a nearly flawless race Sunday in conditions that had his rivals slithering around the Silverstone circuit.

Following discussions with Formula One Management, the FIA has confirmed that the British Grand Prix will be retained on the Formula One World Championship calendar, moving from Silverstone to its new home of Donington Park from 2010.
FIA President Max Mosley said, “After many years of patient but fruitless negotiation with the BRDC, we are delighted that Bernie (Ecclestone) has nevertheless been able to ensure that the British Grand Prix will keep its place on the Formula One World Championship calendar.
“We understand that the development programme planned for Donington will achieve the very high standards we and FOM expect from a modern F1 circuit. Finally, British Formula One fans will get the Grand Prix venue they deserve.”
FOM President Bernie Ecclestone said, “Finally the uncertainty is over. A contract has been signed with Donington Park and the future of the British Grand prix is now secure.
