BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) -- It was quite a weekend for Lewis Hamilton.
He gave the Formula One crowd pause for thought about who really should be favored on the McLaren team -- he as the rookie leading the season standings or teammate Fernando Alonso, the two-time world champion.
He perhaps gave the best response when he won the Hungarian Grand Prix with Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari about a second behind most of the way.
So it was no wonder Hamilton pumped his arms in the car during the victory lap and then on the podium.
McLaren and Alonso were penalized because of a qualifying mishap, which ended up favoring Hamilton.
"It's been an eventful weekend and quite emotional for all the team," Hamilton said. "With all the drama all weekend it would have been easy to lose focus.
"I think going into the race it sort of felt like a big cloud over my mind," Hamilton said.
Hamilton's team was penalized after it was deemed to have hindered his qualifying efforts. With six races to go, Hamilton extended his lead over Alonso in the standings to seven points, 80-73.
McLaren leads the constructors' standings with 138 points. Ferrari has 119 points. McLaren's total stayed the same because FIA also said that any points McLaren won would not count toward the constructors' championship.
Alonso was penalized five places from the pole position late Saturday after FIA stewards ruled that McLaren had delayed Hamilton on the final pit stop in qualifying. Alonso was timed at being stationary more than 30 seconds after the tires were changed before heading out while Hamilton waited behind him in the pits.
"A weekend full of stress and emotion. The issues that faced us, not just this weekend but also in the previous month has tested the resolve of the whole team," said Ron Dennis, the McLaren team boss.
Hamilton said it was tough time, but the entire team was dealing with it.
"I don't believe any other team could cope with it better," Hamilton said.
Asked after the race about his relationship with Alonso, Hamilton said he continued to have respect for the Spaniard.
"He doesn't seem to have been speaking to me since yesterday, so I don't know if he has a problem," Hamilton said.
Alonso wanted to stay away from the situation, and he left the paddock area quickly after the race.
His team issued a statement quoting him as saying "Without the penalty ... victory would have been possible today as you can see on my lap times when I had a clear track. ... The fight for the championship is still open."
Alonso was fourth in the race, failing to get past BMW-Sauber's Nick Heidfeld in the final laps.
Ferrari and McLaren have won all 11 races this season, with Alonso, Hamilton and Raikkonen having three wins apiece, and Felipe Massa having two.
Raikkonen has 60 points for third place in the season standings and Massa has 59 points for fourth.
McLaren and Ferrari are also embroiled in a bitter legal dispute concerning leaked information and sabotage.
The main dispute began when a 780-page technical dossier on Ferrari cars was found at the home of McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan, who has since been suspended. The documents were allegedly supplied by Ferrari mechanic Nigel Stepney, who was fired.
At the start of Sunday's race, Hamilton moved away easily while Raikkonen tucked in behind. They essentially stayed that way during the rest of the race, with Heidfeld third, except for pits stops.
"It was quite a boring race just staying behind," Raikkonen said.
After 20 laps all the leaders had pitted and Raikkonen moved to within two seconds of Hamilton. Hamilton went in on the 50th lap and stretched his lead to more than four seconds.
But Raikkonen cut it to a half-second. With 13 laps remaining, that was as close as it got.
"When I was in traffic, he was getting closer and closer," Hamilton said of Raikkonen. "Then when I was able to get a clear lap, I was able to maintain the gap."
Robert Kubica of BMW-Sauber had another strong finish for fifth place with Schumacher of Toyota in sixth, his best of the season.
The teams and drivers have a three-week break before the next race, the Turkish GP in Istanbul on Aug. 26. However, FIA now has to deal with the Ferrari-McLaren decision review as well as an appeal of the McLaren points deduction.
