The champ is riding high, 46 points clear of teammate Sergio Perez
Silverstone marked a low point on Max Verstappen’s road to 2021’s Formula One title but the Red Bull driver is riding higher than ever ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix.
The pair then collided at speed on Sunday’s opening lap, with Hamilton going on to win for a record eighth time at home while a bruised Verstappen went to hospital with his lead slashed to eight points. “It will be great to race in front of probably the biggest ever crowd that Silverstone has had, and hopefully we can be competitive there and try and get some form of redemption for last year.”
“I’m looking forward to Silverstone now,” said Leclerc, 49 points behind Verstappen, after racing from 19th to fifth in Montreal. Mercedes have some “new bits” and the track should better suit their car, notoriously prone to bouncing.
