The Dutchman is currently eight points ahead of his competitor, but that could have been many more points. Before the race at Silverstone, Verstappen had a lead of more than 30 points. However, he was forced to retire on the first lap of the race after Hamilton and Verstappen collided. Lewis Hamilton then won the race, despite a ten second time penalty in emphatic style.

The anger between the two drivers was high afterwards. Verstappen was in hospital for check-ups, while Hamilton was celebrating after his victory. According to Toto Wolff the anger has subsided. “Lewis is quite relaxed about all this. It’s just a very polarizing story and some of the statements made were very personal and put the situation on edge. But in general Lewis is fine with it,” the Mercedes team boss told Motorsport-total.com
