Dream start for Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton enjoyed a superb start to a rain-hit British Grand Prix after storming off the line from fourth place to challenge pole-sitter and McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen for the lead.

As the five red lights blinked out to signal the start, the front three drivers struggled for grip, allowing Hamilton to edge ahead into Copse before Kovalainen fought back, brushing against his team-mate to reclaim first place.
