Mclaren ace Hamilton rates yesterday's win as one of his best ever Lewis Hamilton reignited his Formula One championship challenge with a much-needed victory in the German Grand Prix. The 26-year-old brought home his McLaren 3.9 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso in his Ferrari, with Red Bull's Mark Webber in third, a further 5.8secs down. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/jul/hamm.jpg" border="5" /> McLaren's Lewis Hamilton holds his head in shock after winning yesterday's German GP in Nurburgring. PIC/AFP With Alonso pulling to one side on the cooling-off lap after the chequered flag had come down due to a fuel problem, he was then given a lift back to the pits on Webber's car. However, the fuel issue may be one for the stewards to look at if they feel a competitive advantage was gained. Reigning champion Sebastian Vettel was forced to settle for fourth after a dramatic last-lap pit stop battle with Ferrari's Felipe Massa, with the Red Bull crew getting their man ahead. Although his lead has been cut for the first time this season, he still holds a 77-point cushion to Webber, with Hamilton 82 points down and Alonso 86. A smiling Hamilton said: "When you do finally hit the sweet spot, it couldn't feel any better. "We never expected to come here and be so fast and competitive, but that was one of the best races I've ever done. "Bit by bit I'm learning more about how the car is behaving, and it was really fantastic for me to be able to make steps forward, and this is a massive one, so I really hope we can keep the momentum going."
