Lewis Hamilton demands arrest of police involved in Breonna Taylor killing

Lewis Hamilton overcame two red-flag periods to win for the 90th time in his career.

Lewis Hamilton used the stage for a victory that moved him to within a single triumph of Michael Schumacher's record to demand the arrest of police officers involved in the killing of American Breonna Taylor.

On a frenzied afternoon for Formula One at the inaugural Tuscan Grand Prix, Hamilton overcame two red-flag periods to win for the 90th time in his career.

He will now match Schumacher's record if he takes the chequered flag in Russia at the end of the month.

But Hamilton's immediate afterthought following his landmark triumph was to highlight Taylor's fate. The 26-year-old black woman was shot dead by police in her Louisville home exactly six months' ago. The officers involved were serving a no-knock warrant.

Hamilton raced away from his blocks to retain his lead but Bottas slipped behind Daniel Ricciardo. The Finn made it back past Ricciardo on the next lap but his best chance of beating Hamilton to the flag was over. He finished 4.8 seconds adrift of his team-mate.

Alexander Albon battled his way past Ricciardo at Turn 1 with eight laps remaining to claim a much-needed first podium.

A miserable weekend was completed for Ferrari with Charles Leclerc and Vettel finishing ninth and 10th of only 12 classified runners. Leclerc was bumped up to eighth after Raikkonen was hit with a five-second penalty but this was hardly the result the sport's grandest team will have wanted on their anniversary.

After nine races in 11 whirlwind Sundays, the sport will now break off for a week before gathering at the Sochi Autodrome in Russia. It is there, on September 27, where Hamilton will be granted his first shot at equalling Schumacher's record – the German claimed the last of his 91 wins at the Chinese Grand Prix in 2006.

"It just doesn't seem real," added the 35-year-old Hamilton. "Getting these wins is not easy, but I never thought I would be here, that's for sure."
