5 of the best British Grands Prix at Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton registered a remarkable seventh British Grand Prix victory in dramatic fashion at Silverstone on Sunday afternoon.

The six-time world champion appeared on course to cruise to victory but had to limp over the line,
virtually on three wheels, after suffering an extraordinary last-lap puncture.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen crossed the line just five seconds back, having started the last lap 31 seconds behind Hamilton.
