Hamilton`s Luck Turns Around; Wins British Grand Prix

The Briton’s determined performance regenerated his world championship challenge as he closes to within four points of Rosberg.

(SILVERSTONE, England) - After a difficult day on Saturday in which he qualified a disappointing sixth on the grid, Lewis Hamilton’s luck turned on Sunday as he fought his way up to second before inheriting the lead from team mate Nico Rosberg when the German hit gearbox difficulties on the 47th lap.

“I couldn’t be happier guys,” Hamilton told his crew on his slow-down lap. “Sorry about yesterday!”

Rosberg Hangs Tough to Win Austrian Grand Prix

In a race sponsored by Red Bull and run at the energy drinks company's own venue, both Red Bull and Toro Rosso had hideous days.

(SPIELBERG, Austria ) - Nico Rosberg put Mercedes back on top by scoring his third victory of the year in a barnstorming Grand Prix in Spielberg on Sunday, although Williams duo Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, and then team mate Lewis Hamilton put him under intense pressure throughout.

Bottas eventually came home third behind Hamilton, therefore claiming the first podium of his Formula One career, while Massa held on to fourth ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
