There is certainly no doubt that the British Grand Prix race started on an extremely bad note. Following the commencement of racing, Hamilton and Verstappen battled desperate combat over numerous corners. The spectators also witnessed their contact at the super-fast Copse corner, followed by a crash, causing Dutchman to fly into the lane at an extreme large pace while his World Cup rival stayed in the racing.
The crash resulted in the interruption of the racing and several questions were raised regarding who should among Red Bull and Mercedes be blamed for this collision. The Dutch racing legend, Verstappen suffered no injuries in the collision, however, he still went to the hospital for a checkup. Whereas in the meantime, the racing restarted soon, and Hamilton started from the second position after the Monegasque racing driver, Charles Leclerc for Scuderia Ferrari.
Later, the racing management of F1 penalised Briton a 10-second penalty at the pit stop for being liable for the accident with Verstappen. When the race started, Leclerc was leading, however soon his car lost control at the first pit stop and thereafter, he encountered a mapping issue, causing the power unit of Ferrari to drop out. However, the engineers were quick enough and solved the problem, before Hamilton could take the lead.
The last 10 laps were a treat to watch, as both Hamilton and Leclerc challenged each other. Hamilton, at last, crossed Leclerc in Copse and then drove securely towards his 8th victory at Silverstone. The results of yesterday racing were that L. Hamilton ranked at 1st place with 27 points, followed by C. Leclerc, V. Bottas, L. Norris, D. Ricciardo, C. Sainz Jr., F.
