Superb Hamilton Wins Silverstone Grand Prix
July 6th, 2008A superb race by our man Lewis Hamilton, who won his maiden home grand prix race in Silverstone.
It was an eventful Formula 1 race today, with light to heavy rain mixed in with some sunny spells causing very tricky conditions for the Formula 1 drivers out there. There were plenty of spins by most of the drivers, including Lewis but Nick Heidfeld seems to be the only driver who didn’t spin off the track landing him a podium finish in second place.
Barrichello also had a great race finishing in third position with his Honda. This was mainly because he went for the full wet tires when it was pouring down with rain.
It seems Lewis Hamilton has silenced his critics for now who’ve been complaining about his lack of performance recently, especially his Montreal crash and his French no-points finish.
Things are starting to look up again as Lewis Hamilton is joint-championship leader with Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen . Massa who finished last and Kubica who retired didn’t score any points. Though Robert Kubica is only trailing by a mere 2 points, this is really starting to look like 4-horse-race.
I can’t wait until the next race which will be in Germany on the 20th of July in 2 weeks time.
