Hamilton wins Belgian GP 2010

Hamilton won the Belgian Grand prix after an incident-packed race at Spa-Francorchamps.

Hamilton took control of the race with a fantastic start from the outside of the front row, while pole-sitter Webber bogged down as his Red Bull’s anti-stall function kicked in and tumbled to seventh place.

Button and Ferrari's Alonso crashed out, and German driver Vettel failed to score a point.

"I'm ecstatic, it was a great weekend," said Hamilton, whose driving was praised by his team principal Martin Whitmarsh. "A race like that can be a lottery, so I'm so happy and grateful to come out on top."
