The German Grand Prix began with Sebastian Vettel on pole. He had won the last race in Britain and it was Lewis' day to return the favour in Vettel's home.

Starting down in 14th, the Mercedes driver quickly moved up the field and had a long stint on his first set of tyres before he was pitted for ultra-softs. The decision turned out correct as rain soon hit parts of the circuit and his Mercedes had better grip than the others.

Valtteri Bottas overtook Kimi Räikkönen for second place and soon after Vettel crashed out of the race. During the safety car period, everyone opted for a change of tyres and the first place went to Hamilton.

The Mercedes drivers displayed good wheel to wheel driving as Bottas challenged for the win but soon after the Finn was asked to hold position. Lewis reached the finish line still holding on to P1 and secured a maiden one-two for the team in Germany.
