Lewis Hamilton overjoyed by first Mercedes win

Lewis Hamilton describes his win at the Hungarian Grand Prix as one of the most important of his career.

Lewis Hamilton has described his victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix as one of the most important of his career.

The Brit triumphed ahead of Kimi Raikkonen at the Hungaroring on Sunday to claim his first win for new team Mercedes.

"This is probably one of the most important Grand Prix wins of my career having moved to a new team," Sky Sports News quotes Hamilton as saying.

"I could not be happier. I hope there is plenty more to come. We have to work hard but if we can make the tyres last here we can do it anywhere."

The win has seen Hamilton cut Sebastian Vettel's lead in the overall standings to 38 points with nine races to go.
