Lewis Hamilton cruised to victory at Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix – and then admitted he would have been sent to sleep through boredom by his own dominant display.

The world champion and his all-conquering Mercedes machine are in a class of one this season and his emphatic victory at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit marked the 89th of his career and fifth from seven in a campaign where he is now almost certain to match Michael Schumacher’s championship record.
