Italian GP victory revives Hamilton title hopes

Lewis Hamilton set aside speculation over his future to take victory in the Italian Grand Prix this afternoon and refresh his hopes of Formula One world title glory.

After crashing out at the first corner of last Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix along with championship leader Fernando Alonso, and amid the saga of his contract negotiations with McLaren, Hamilton conjured a superb drive at Monza to claim his third win of the season and 20th of his career.
