LONDON (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton has credited a home victory at Silverstone in July with lighting the inner 'forest fire' that helped him blaze a trail back to the top of the Formula One world championship on Sunday.

The Mercedes driver took the overall lead in the standings for the first time in a year at the weekend after following up a tense victory in Belgium with an absolutely dominant win in Italy.
