Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Tune in with Henny and Swish as they unpack all the highlights from the recently concluded British Grand Prix.
You couldn't write a better script for Lewis Hamilton. After over two years without a win and facing doubts about his future success, especially with his decision to leave Mercedes for Ferrari next year, he triumphed in his home race. Battling through all weather conditions, Hamilton won on merit, proving he is still a Grand Prix winner. Love him or hate him, this victory is historic and a fitting tribute to Mercedes' hard work to return to the top of the podium.
However, for others, it was a weekend of missed opportunities. McLaren, the favourites coming in, made several strategic errors that cost them a potential P1-P2 finish. Red Bull struggled with balance and pace in all conditions, but Max Verstappen's final stint on hard tires was outstanding, finishing just 1.4 seconds behind Hamilton and beating Norris for P2.
As the triple-header concluded, Haas impressed with major upgrades, securing P6 in back-to-back races with Nico Hulkenberg. Few expected Haas to consistently battle for points, but their car looks strong. Conversely, VCARB, a team expected to regularly score points, has fallen back. Checo Perez, in particular, is under pressure, with his recent poor performances sparking rumours of a replacement.
This is what F1 should be: six different race winners and a competitive front row in every race. Despite Max's large lead, the season promises thrilling months ahead. With no dominant team, it will come down to drivers' race craft and fine-tuned upgrades.
