Hamilton supreme
Hamilton will welcome the gift from Vettel at the start of a crucial run of three races in three weeks, one of them the British Grand Prix in two weeks' time, and five in six before the four-week summer break in August.
Action behind the leader
It was behind Hamilton that a race more interesting than many feared began to unfold.
Dire race for McLaren
After their worst qualifying performance for more than a year, McLaren had a woeful race, Stoffel Vandoorne finishing 12th. Team-mate Fernando Alonso, delayed by the crash at the first corner, spent much of the race at the back after a first-lap pit stop and an attempt to go through the race non-stop.
Driver of the day
Difficult choice, this. Vettel drove beautifully to recover ground after the first-lap incident but loses points for causing it. Let's give it to Charles Leclerc, after a starring weekend, and a fourth points finish for Sauber in five races.
What they said
Race winner Lewis Hamilton: "I feel very grateful, grateful for a solid weekend. My guys, I have been with them for six years they are pushing the boundaries and never giving up so I want to thank them and everyone at the factory."
What happens next?
F1 moves to Austria next weekend, a power track where Ferrari and Mercedes will likely again be closely match, and picking a winner is impossible.
