Hamilton claims British GP

Lewis Hamilton roared back from a first-lap incident that sent championship leader Max Verstappen to the hospital and overcame a 10-second penalty to win the British Grand Prix and reignite his title defence. The seven-time champion won at his home track yesterday to snap a run of five races without a victory and slash the gap to Verstappen at the top of the drivers’ championship from 33 points to eight. Verstappen crashed out of the race after clashing with Hamilton, with the Dutchman spinning hard into a barrier with an impact which registered at 51G.
