Overall, I thought it was a good race to watch. It was going to be another race win for current F1 championship leader Nico Rosberg. Until lap 29, when Nico Rosberg's gearbox failed on his Mercedes,to give his first retirement of the season. Then Lewis Hamilton took the lead and took the race win, to take his second British Grand Prix win and his fifth race win of the season.
While, Valtteri Bottas finished in second in the Williams, despite qualified in 14th place (moved from 17th place after penalties), as we saw Valtteri Bottas a masterclass on how to overtake. Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull finish on the final step of the podium in third place.
Next stop Hockenheim for the German Grand Prix in two weeks time.
End of blog for now, new post soon. Bye.
