Lewis Hamilton sat back and listened to music as his emphatic Italian Grand Prix victory was left in the hands of Formula One’s stewards.

This was the German’s 41st career win and his second win of the year.

Lewis Hamilton said he had to calm himself down in the latter stages of the Hungarian Grand Prix in order to recover from an error-strewn race and finish sixth.

But there is the small task to defeating his team-mate Nico Rosberg first of all.

Should Hamilton complete one more front-running lap at Silverstone on Sunday, he will surpass Sir Jackie Stewart’s 45-year record of leading 17 consecutive grands prix.
