NURBURGRING, Germany, Lewis Hamilton's stunning triumph in Sunday's German Grand Prix not only breathed new life into this year's Formula One world championship, it also eased the pressure on McLaren and his team chief Martin Whitmarsh.

"That was not just one of my best race wins, it was also one of the most satisfying and most important," he said, having drawn level with the legendary Stirling Moss in the British record books on 16 Grands Prix wins.
