Lewis Hamilton wins German Grand Prix after starting 14th

Lewis Hamilton charged through from 14th on the grid to win the German Grand Prix as title rival Sebastian Vettel crashed out while leading.

Hamilton had started from the seventh row after his car had stopped on track during qualifying.

But a mixture of fine overtaking, good strategy and a late rain shower helped get the Briton to the front.

Vettel, who had started on pole in his Ferrari, had looked set for his first win at Hockenheim, but his Ferrari slithered off in damp conditions and hit a barrier with 15 laps to go.

Hamilton had moved up to fifth in the first half of the race, and then gained track position when both his Mercedes-GP teammate Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen pitted for fresh tyres when the safety car came out following Vettel's crash.

Hamilton held off a challenge from Bottas in the closing laps, with the Finn then told to hold station by Mercedes as they secured their first one-two result in Spain, with Raikkonen third.

Hamilton also retakes the lead of the drivers' championship from Vettel, moving 17 points ahead going to the Hungarian Grand Prix next Sunday.

Max Verstappen was fourth for Red Bull Racing, with Nico Hulkenberg's Renault and Romain Grosjean's Haas completing the top six.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
