Max Verstappen won a chaotic rain-hit German Grand Prix after Lewis Hamilton crashed while on course for victory.

Hamilton crashed from the lead of the race while Valtteri Bottas’ afternoon ended in the wall following a late spin.

Dutchman Verstappen finished ahead of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, who fought back from last, and Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat.

“As soon as I was ahead of the Mercedes cars, you could really see the pace I had because I was just pulling away quite comfortably with saving tyres,” he said.

“So, yeah, today was very good and we stayed mostly out of trouble. So of course, (I am) very happy to win it.”
