Lewis Hamilton streaked to British Grand Prix victory at Silverstone, delivering a masterful drive in wet conditions to delight a vociferous home crowd and reignite his world title challenge. Consistent rain saw nearly all the drivers spin at some stage of the race and though BMW’s Nick Heidfeld produced a good drive to finish second and Rubens Barrichello was third, no one could come close to Hamilton who won his home race by a staggering 68.5 seconds. The McLaren driver produced an excellent start and a superbly aggressive opening stint to take the lead early on, before going on to close the race out maturely.

In un Gp di Gran Bretagna segnato da un tempo a dir poco variabile vince l’inglese della McLaren davanti a Heidfeld (Bmw) e Barrichello (Honda). La Ferrari sbaglia strategia durante il diluvio e rischia di pagare caro, ma Kimi Raikkonen rimonta e trova 5 punti che lo portano alla pari, nella classifica mondiale, con Massa (ultimo a Silverstone) e Hamilton.
