 SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS - Lewis Hamilton pressed home his challenge
for this year's drivers' title in emphatic style yesterday when the
2008 Formula 1 world champion won a dramatic and incident-filled
Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton, in his McLaren, took the lead at the start and then
controlled the 44-lap race through two safety car periods and some
