Nico Rosberg clinched his home German Grand Prix on Sunday, stamping his lead in the Formula One drivers' championship. His Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton finished third after starting 20th.

Hamilton, who crashed in qualifying and luckily survived a wad of scrapes in Sunday's race, failed to get past Valtteri Bottas in the closing laps and the Finn took second to give Williams its 300th F1 podium finish.

Four-time defending champ Sebastian Vettel ended fourth, while Fernando Alonso settled for the fifth position.

Rosberg, who started from pole, stretched his lead to 14 points.
