Full race results for the German Grand Prix, the eleventh round of the 2018 F1 season at Hockenheim, Germany.<doc-sep>Mark Thompson/Getty Images Lewis Hamilton completed a stunning comeback to win the 2018 Formula One German Grand Prix on Sunday, taking advantage of wet conditions and Sebastian Vettel's late crash. The win saw the Brit reclaim the championship lead. The rain had a huge impact on the dramatic race, with Mercedes taking the two top spots despite seeming second-best to Ferrari for much of the grand prix. Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen completed the podium, and Daniel Ricciardo also crashed out. Here's a look at the results from the German Grand Prix: For a look at the latest championship standings, click here. Hamilton―who dropped out of qualifying with a mechanical issue and was forced to start 14th―wasn't able to make up plenty of positions with a great start, forcing him to chase down cars with pure pace or the help of a fortunate safety car. The threat of rain was very real for this race, keeping the drivers on edge: The two Ferrari drivers set the pace early on, building a comfortable gap over the rest of the field, while toward the back, both Hamilton and Ricciardo made their way through the field. The latter had opted for the medium tyre compound and his progress was significantly slower.

Vettel and Bottas also made their stops shortly after, and in the background, Ricciardo's dreadful weekend came to an end: With the rain closing in, Mercedes took a risk by putting the ultrasoft tyres on Hamilton's car, hoping the Brit could either stay out or the rain would not arrive―or not be as bad as expected. F1 YouTuber IntoTheBarrier thought it was a big call: The rain arrived in Hockenheim soon after, hitting the final sector of the track. Part of the field stopped for intermediates, but the track wasn't nearly wet enough for that yet―Mercedes were comfortably quicker than the rest, and the drivers on inters were losing more than five seconds per lap. The Silver Arrows flew through the pack, with Bottas overtaking Raikkonen and Hamilton making up a ton of ground on his fresher rubber. This put all kinds of pressure on Vettel, whose car wound up into the wall: Replays show he locked up, hitting the barrier after running over the gravel. This brought out a safety car, with Bottas and Raikkonen using the opportunity to pit. However, the former entered the pit lane before his mechanics had the time to ready his tyres, and all of a sudden, Hamilton had the lead. Once the safety car came in, Bottas was able to go at Hamilton on the fresher rubber, but he soon dropped back down, with Raikkonen engaging him. He was unable to get into range to maximise his DRS until late, with Mercedes holding on for a one-two finish.

Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari has pole position for the Formula One German Grand Prix on Sunday, narrowly edging out Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes for the top spot. Lewis Hamilton, Vettel’s top competition in the Drivers’ Championship, didn’t get an opportunity at pole when his car suffered a hydraulics failure in the second qualifying session. Sunday’s race is set to begin at 9 a.m. ET in the United States, and will be broadcast on ESPN. Live online streaming of the race can be had via WatchESPN, the ESPN App or F1 TV Pro. Hamilton was so distraught at his misfortune in Q2, he tried to get out and push his car back to the pits, which would have made him eligible to compete in Q3 as his posted time was fast enough to advance. But the on-track stewards prevailed and Hamilton’s car was pushed to the site, where it was extracted. “We had the failure at turn one as Lewis ran the ‘normal’ kerb which all the drivers use in that stage of qualifying,” Mercedes said after the session. “Then, with failed power steering as a result of the hydraulic failure, we had the ‘jumping’ moments that were seen on TV and which people understandably thought might have been the cause of the issue, but were in fact a consequence of it.” Vettel spoke on Hamilton’s issue, calling it a “shame,” but also noting that he has to focus on winning a race on Sunday. He starts 13 places on the grid ahead of Hamilton. He also currently leads Hamilton by eight points in the standings. “I don’t wish anything bad or something like a technical issue which he had to happen to anyone,” Vettel said. “It was a shame to see him go out and I mean it but you look after yourself and we try to do the race tomorrow which is the most important part of the weekend.” Behind Vettel and Bottas are Kimi Raikkonen, the former’s teammate at Ferrari, and Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Verstappen’s teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, knew going into qualifying that he was going to be at the back of the grid due to a power unit replacement on his car. Kevin Magnussesn and Romain Grosjean of the American-owned Haas F1 team qualified fifth and sixth, respectively, ahead of both Renault cards. The Sauber of Charles Leclerc once again made it into the third qualifying session, and will line up ninth alongside Sergio Perz and his Force India to round out the Top 10.
