\"LewisLewis Hamilton<\/a> entered the French Grand Prix knowing that a first place finish would help him reclaim the number one spot F1 ranking from Sebastian Vettel<\/strong>. The British F1 superstar dominated the Circuit Paul Ricard track and won his third Grand Prix of the season.<\/p>\n

Mercedes\u2019s Hamilton ended up losing the lead only during one lap at his pit stop but was quick to regain the lead and ensure that he did not let anyone pass him. <\/p>\n

His biggest threat was from Ferrari\u2019s Sebastian Vettel who did not help his cause by crashing into Valtteri Bottas. <\/p>\n

Max Verstappen<\/strong> finished in second place and Kimi Raikkonen<\/strong> took the third spot. This was a special victory for Lewis Hamilton because he had never won the French Grand Prix before. The Brit has had a total of 65 F1 first place finishes but the French Grand Prix evaded him mainly because it hasn\u2019t been part of the F1 circuit for the last decade and only made its return this year. Apart from winning his first French Grand Prix, Hamilton also rejoiced over the news that England had won its FIFA World Cup football match<\/a> against Panama with a dominant 6-1 performance. Hamilton now has 145 points on the F1 points table<\/strong>, 14 points more than Vettel who is at 131.<\/p>\n
