Lewis Hamilton admitted he was surprised at his own good fortune on Sunday after winning the German Grand Prix to take a clear championship lead into Formula One's annual European summer holiday.

"I hope everyone has an amazing holiday - I'm going to have one!" he said, shortly after posting an image on his Instagram page showing him sharing a surfboard with one of his dogs.
