TIL Desk Sports/ Despite taking a lead in the Formula One championship with a victory in Hungarian Grand Prix, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has said that he still feels as if he is the one chasing. Considering a victory in Spanish as a ‘turning point’ for him, the German said that he fought back from what he described as ‘rock bottom’ to snatch a lead from team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Although Hamilton admitted that it feels great to be back on the winnings ways, he believes there is still a long way to go in the championship. Earlier, three-time world champion Hamilton fended off Rosberg to win a record-breaking fifth Hungarian Grand Prix and take a lead in the championship race for the first time this season.
Hamilton, who clocked the best lap of one minute and 40 seconds, was two tenths of a second quicker than Rosberg . Hamilton, who won five of the previous six races, now leads his Mercedes team-mate by six points after 11 of the season’s 21 races.
