Lewis Hamilton crashes while Max Verstappen wins German GP

Red Bull's Max Verstappen took his second win of the year in the German Grand Prix. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took second from the back of the grid and Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat was third. Lewis Hamilton finished 11th after two mistakes. But the Briton did not lose any ground to team-mate Valtteri Bottas in the championship after the Finn crashed. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crashed when looking in strong shape for at least second place. Renault's Nico Hulkenberg went off at the same place, the treacherous penultimate corner, which was also where Hamilton made one of his errors.
