Red Bull’s Max Verstappen got his first victory of the season last weekend during the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix ahead of Lewis Hamilton – which was quite a surprise. However, Hamilton is working to retain his leadership position and break Michael Schumacher’s F1 winning record.
His final lap during the British Grand Prix, where he raced 2.4 miles on three wheels after suffering a puncture on one of his tires, might be the biggest drama since the restart of the season.
