McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton led the Hungarian Grand Prix from start to finish to stretch his championship lead over unhappy team mate Fernando Alonso to seven points.

The 22-year-old British rookie put behind him a pole position controversy and spy saga gripping McLaren to take his third win and 10th podium finish in 11 races and underscore his credentials as title favourite.
Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen finished second, 0.7 behind, with Germany's Nick Heidfeld third for BMW Sauber.
Spain's double world champion Alonso, who was stripped of pole and demoted to sixth place on the starting grid for unnecessarily impeding Hamilton in the final seconds of Saturday’s qualifying, finished fourth.
As punishment for that same incident, but subject to appeal, leaders McLaren were barred from scoring points towards the constructors’ championship in the race.
