FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 7, 2008 -- Hamilton lost the lead to Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen with an early spin but fought back in the closing laps to re-take the lead with two laps to go.

In a frantic last two laps on a soaking track, Hamilton passed Raikkonen, lost the lead again with a spin, re-took it and then saw Raikkonen crash.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa took second and is now eight points behind Hamilton.
The world champion's error has left him 23 points behind Hamilton and effectively out of the championship running.

In an interview with BBC Sport Hamilton said. "It was an experience and a half. I was praying for rain. I wanted it to come because I knew how to deal with it."

"The heavens opened and I saw Kimi begin to back off and to brake a bit earlier."

"I was going reasonably wide at Turn 12 but Rosberg spun and went off where I was coming back on. I went over the grass. It was incredibly tough."

"Kimi pushed me wide. I was a little bit ahead. I was outside on Turn One, I had no room and he basically pushed me so I went on the escape route."

"So I let him past, then got in his tow and he was ducking and diving left and right but I managed to get past him and I was pretty much gone from there."

It was another superb performance in the wet from Hamilton, who has inherited Michael Schumacher's mantle as Formula One's rain master.
