Hamilton back to winning ways

LEWIS HAMILTON celebrated his third victory of the season on a day Jenson Button’s hopes of back-to-back world championships suffered “a massive blow”.

Hamilton took the chequered flag after a typically chaotic Belgian Grand Prix in which three of his main rivals all failed to score a point.

In finishing 1.5 seconds ahead of Mark Webber as the race ended in the wet, Hamilton has leapfrogged the Red Bull racer at the top of the standings, with his cushion now a marginal three points.
