Lewis Hamilton has won the Hungarian Grand Prix from pole for Mercedes to claim a record equalling eighth top spot at one race and take the lead in the Formula One championship.
Hamilton was imperious on a drying track under dark Budapest clouds as more rain threatened but didn’t fall and he coasted to an 86th career victory and second of the season on Sunday.
The Briton triumphed ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas in third.
Hamilton’s eight wins at the Hungaroring since a first one in 2007 draw him level with former great Michael Schumacher who won the French GP eight times.
He moved past Bottas by six points to the top of the standings with 64 points after three races.
