Well done Williams for a great drive at Silverstone.

05 Jul 2015

Lap 52/52:  1 Lewis Hamilton 2 Nico Rosberg 3 Sebastian Vettel. It was touch as go for Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton at the start but the veteran ultimately triumphed at Silverstone to win his home 2015 British GP. Team mate Nico Rosberg, who struggled early on, claimed the second podium spot followed by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third. Williams' Felipe Massa drove a fantastic race though the rain saw him drop from first to fourth place. Silverstone also saw six drivers retire, five of which before lap 6!

Lap 40/52:  1 Lewis Hamilton 2 Felipe Massa 3 Nico Rosberg. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton continues to dominate though the Williams'Felipe Massa remains close behind in second. What a great race from him! It looks to be a very different race for the last 12 laps as rain hits Silverstone. Many teams have already changed tyres. Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz was forced to retire ending the team's Silverstone run.

Lap 20/52: 1 Massa, 2 Bottas, 3 Hamilton - What an exciting race so far! Five drivers taken out in as many laps. Meanwhile the Williams pair continue to hold their own against Mercedes. Bottas is clearly the faster of the two though Massa continues to lead. Will this be race to topple Merc's dominance in 2015?
