Hamilton: Drivers not to blame for boredom

LE CASTELLET, France - After winning the French Grand Prix on Sunday, Lewis Hamilton told Formula One's critics not to blame the drivers for "boring" processional races, but instead to turn their focus on the rule-makers.

Britain's defending five-time world champion produced a flawless demonstration of racing to triumph from pole position for the second straight year in France.

In a largely uneventful race on a sweltering afternoon at Le Castellet circuit, Hamilton led his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas home as they extended the Silver Arrows winning run to 10 races.
