Formula One, or F1, is considered the most dramatic sport with its history of crashes, overtakes and victories. Harry Pells, year 8, takes a look at the standings after the British Grand Prix.
After the tricky conditions at Silverstone, Sir Lewis Hamilton managed to take hom victory for Mercedes. "It meant a lot to get this one," Lewis emotionally said over the radio. This was the Brit's first win in two years, which adds up to 104 race wins in his career. Max Verstappen still has a comfortable lead in the Drivers' Championship after he finished in second place. Lando Norris filled up the final spot on the podium, which makes him second in the Drivers' Championship overall.
No change in the Constructors' Championship as Red Bull still lead, then Ferrari and only seven points behind is Mclaren. Even though Hamilton is rejoining Ferrari, he is still putting in effort for Mercedes.
If you don't watch Formula One, here is a brief explanation. It is a motorsport where professionals go head-to-head at different circuits around the world. If you were to watch a race, four out of five times Max Verstappen would win, but watching crashes and overtakes can rush adrenaline throughout your body!
