Lewis Hamilton wins the British GP 2017 and record fifth home GP

Lewis Hamilton took a dominant home victory at Silverstone to tie the all-time record of five career wins in the British Grand Prix and cut Sebastian Vettel’s championship lead to just a single point

With barely two laps remaining, a front-left puncture deprived Raikkonen of the runner-up slot, while

an apparently identical issue cost Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel a likely fourth place just a lap later, promoting Valtteri Bottas to a Mercedes one-two. Raikkonen recovered to finish third.

Red Bull – off the pace of the frontrunners all afternoon – were the key beneficiaries of the British race, with Max Verstappen fourth and Daniel Ricciardo – the fans’ Driver of the Day after battling his way up from P19 on the grid –fifth.

Behind them, Nico Hulkenberg secured a superb sixth place for Renault – some consolation for the French team after Jolyon Palmer in the sister car went out with hydraulic problems on the formation
lap.

The Force Indias of Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez took the flag in eighth and ninth respectively, with Felipe Massa the final point scorer for Williams in tenth.

It was a disastrous race for Toro Rosso. Carlos Sainz retired on the second lap after a collision with team mate Daniil Kvyat, who was given a drive-through penalty for causing the incident by rejoining the circuit unsafely. The Russian continued, but floor damage limited him to P15 of the British F1
GP.
Fernando Alonso's was the third and final retirement after pitting his McLaren with power issues shortly after half distance.

Following the podiums celebrations, Hamilton went down to see the crowd, surfing on their
outstretched hands and high-fiving as he ran past the adoring throng.
"The support has been incredible this weekend," he said. "I am so proud I could do this for you all.
Now the plan is to win the championship."

How much of Bad luck can One Team have While another gets away with everything, oh Boy, congrats to Hamilton
Ferrari lost the battle massively. 1. battle with raikkonen on the opening lap cost vettel place to Verstappen 2. they did not swap drivers to protect the champ leader with more than twice of points than raikkonen 3. they did not pit vettel when he was passed by bottas 4. the car was a second per lap slower than mercedes. Feeling sorry for Sebastian Vettel Scuderia Ferrari, a podium would have been great for him .Anyways, the Championship is alive.No one know what to expect how it might unfold.

Good race from Lewis Hamilton and the championship points are close so it'll be exciting. Mercedes’
Hamilton's victory cut his deficit to Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel to just one point in the championship.

The Mercedes driver equalled the tally of Scot Jim Clark and Frenchman Alain Prost with his fourth home win in a row to add to his first win for McLaren in 2008.
