🤔Was that the most exciting finish to a grand prix ever?

[Forward to a friend]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [YouTube]( [RSS]( Lewis Hamilton winning the British Grand Prix on three wheels was certainly right up there with the most exciting F1 finishes of all time – including those classic photo-finishes or epic last-lap passes (there’s actually been a lot more of those than you’d think). The second safety car period, for Daniil Kvyat’s big crash, was the catalyst for a flurry of early pitstops to take the hard tyre until the finish – and that pushed everyone (apart from Romain Grosjean and Alex Albon) towards the limit of its capability in the closing laps. The front-left corner takes a hammering around Silverstone. But at least the way the tyre failed gave the drivers ample warning, as Valtteri Bottas and Carlos Sainz were able to bring their cars back the pits – and in Lewis’s case, the chequered flag! We have different compounds of tyres for this weekend’s race at Silverstone, and it’s certainly going to keep Pirelli in the spotlight… Charles Bradley, Global Editor in Chief Motorsport.com E D I T O R ' S C H O I C E [Pirelli launches “360 degrees” investigation after failures]( Pirelli Formula 1 boss Mario Isola says the Italian company will “analyse everything 360 degrees” after the spectacular series of tyre failures in the closing laps of the British GP.
