Hamilton, 35, started the race in the pole position, came first, finishing 70 laps in one hour, 36 minutes and 12 seconds. It was his 86th career win, edging Schumacher’s another record (91 wins). It was Hamilton's second victory this season, after the winning in Austria a week ago that rose him to the top of the race’s overall table with 63 points, 5 points higher than the second-finisher Valtteri Bottas.
