Kiwi Brendon Hartley has recorded his first Formula One point after a career best 10th placing at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Toro Rosso driver qualified second to last but moved into the top 10 when seven drivers failed to finish the race.
The last time a New Zealand driver earned a Formula One point was Howden Ganley at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix.
"There was a lot of drama around me, but I managed to keep my nose clean."
Lewis Hamilton celebrated one of the luckiest wins of his career after a crash-strewn and chaotic race that catapulted him into the lead of the Formula One world championship.
Last year's race winner Daniel Ricciardo crashed out in the 40th lap after driving into the back of Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen in an attempt to move from fifth to fourth spot.
Hamilton's surprise victory came after Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas suffered a puncture with three laps left while leading, ended a six race drought for the four times champion dating back to last October.
