Hamilton driving at hat-trick of Formula 1 wins

LONDON: Lewis Hamilton can chalk up his third win in a row when he returns to Budapest for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, a race he won in controversial circumstances last year.

McLaren's Formula One championship leader, now four points clear of Ferrari's Felipe Massa after stunning wins in Germany and Britain, has every chance of extending his advantage before the summer break.

Despite the ease with which he went past his rivals at Hockenheim, and his astonishing performance in the wet at Silverstone, the 23-year-old was taking nothing for granted.
