Lewis Hamilton won the Styrian Grand Prix in Spielberg, Austria, from pole position on Sunday to grab his 85th career win and move within six of Michael Schumacher’s Formula One record.

When Hamilton stood on the podium, he raised a clenched right fist in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Hamilton’s record-extending 89th career pole on a rain-drenched track was one of his best in extreme conditions, but during the race he was hardly challenged as he finished a 13.7 seconds ahead of Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas and 33.7 ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

For the second time in the last four races, Ferrari teammates Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel crashed into each other and went out.
