British Grand Prix News

On Sunday Lewis Hamilton picked up his ninth win at the British Grand Prix making him the driver with the most wins on a single track. The win for Hamilton came after almost three years since his last win in Saudi Arabia back in 2021.

Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen led a Red Bull one-two in a breezy final practice for the British Grand Prix on Saturday. The Dutch 24-year-old lapped with a best time of one minute 27.901 seconds, 0.410 quicker than his Mexican team mate Sergio Perez.

Racing Point said they expected to make a decision later on Thursday or before practice starts on Friday on who would partner Canadian Lance Stroll.

The British racer then took to Twitter and expressed that the last lap almost had him. Hamilton raced at an average speed of 237.6 km/h and gained 25 points.

Hamilton, who will be chasing a record seventh win at Silverstone on Sunday, was joined on the front row by Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas with Red Bull`s Max Verstappen qualifying third.

Bottas, five points behind Hamilton after three races, put in a fastest time of one minute 25.873 seconds in the final practice session. 

Hulkenberg's announcement as Perez's replacement was confirmed only hours before the start of FP1. 

If the re-test comes back positive, Perez would be ruled out of Sunday`s fourth round of the Formula One season.

Mercedes have been dominant so far, with Hamilton now on for a hat-trick of wins after victories in Austria`s Styrian Grand Prix and Hungary.

The race will be a 70th anniversary for Formula One at the English circuit which hosted the first world championship race in 1950.

Moss spent 134 days in the hospital after suffering chest infection while on holiday in Singapore.  

With the Union Jack fluttering from his Mercedes after it was handed to him by a marshal on his victory lap, the five-times world champion basked in the adulation of a sellout 141,000-strong crowd.

Valterri Bottas finished second, after starting from pole position with Hamilton alongside, and Ferrari`s Charles Leclerc was third after team mate Sebastian Vettel collided with Red Bull`s Max Verstappen.

Addressing rumours swirling around the former champions who have fallen far from their glorious past, Williams also dismissed speculation the team could switch from Mercedes to Renault engines.

The free public event on Wednesday, March 13, will involve all 20 race drivers and the 10 team principals in the Melbourne's Federation Square. 

The British Grand Prix might have ended on Monday with Sabastian Vettel winning at Silverstone but the spat between Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen reared its ugly head once again when the latter's wife, Minttu, accused Hamilton of "crying like a girl". She wrote a post on Instagram comparing Hamilton and Mercedes' reaction with that of a girl and suggested them to‘join ballet.’

Ferrari, Formula One's oldest and most successful team who also get special payments and enjoy a right of veto, have threatened to leave if they deem changes go against their interests.

The triple world champion, so often an enigma shrouded in contradiction, offered little certainty after winning the British Grand Prix for a record-equaling fifth time.

Vettel, who had battled on worn tyres but looked like securing the final podium position until the blowout, finished seventh after an emergency pit stop with a shower of sparks from the wheel rim.

It is one heck of a day for the sports enthusiasts with the weekend filled with sports action. Cricket fans can resist themselves to the ICC Women's World Cup 2017 where Indian eves will look to crawl into the semi-final stage with a must-win match against New Zealand.
