(MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) After being overtaken on the first bend, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton fought back to pass Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and claim his second win of the season. Three-time champion Hamilton kept pushing to regain his lead, with the pair's cars even touching on lap 38. It was a tough physical battle with Seb and I'm so happy to get the win," he said afterwards. The victory means Hamilton cuts Vettel's lead in the driver's championship to six points ahead of the #Monaco grand prix on May 28. The retirements of Raikonnen and Verstappen plus Hamilton's teammate Valtteri Bottas mean the championship is already looking like a two horse race.
