Phew, that was a thriller, wasn"t it? Silverstone having just secured its short-term future with a deal to continue hosting the British GP until at least 2024 served up an absolute thriller of a race on Sunday. Bottas had beaten championship leader Lewis Hamilton to pole on the Saturday, and got off the line smartly ahead of his teammate. But for the first few laps, the Finn was put under immense pressure as Hamilton attacked him every which way he could. Hamilton finally overtook him on lap four only for Bottas to overtake him back, both Silver Arrows going toe-to-toe. It then became a strategic battle, Bottas pitting early and Hamilton staying out, only for Antonio Giovinazzi to send his car into the gravel, triggering the safety car. Lewis pitted for fresh tyres, came out ahead of Bottas, and was never troubled until the end.
