Lewis Hamilton delivered a flawless drive from pole position to the checkered flag to win Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix for McLaren and revive his challenge for this year's Formula One drivers' world championship.

The 27-year-old Briton took control of the race from the start and stayed in front, pit stops apart, as he resisted strong late pressure to come home ahead of Finland's Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen.

Hamilton's win was his second of the year and the 19th of his career.
