F1: Hamilton extends lead with superlative Belgian win

Belgium

DEFENDING two-time world champion Lewis Hamilton extended his lead in this year's title race to 28 points when he claimed a near-flawless victory ahead of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in the Belgian Grand Prix.

Starting from his 10th pole position of the season and sixth in succession, the 30-year-old Briton dominated with some ease as he finished a controlled 2.058 seconds clear of the German. Hamilton now has 227 points and Rosberg 199.
