If we want to use one word, to sum up, the British GP it would be “goosebumps” and we can credit the feeling to Lewis Hamilton. The incident-filled race at Silverstone was as exciting, to say the very least. And we can credit the goosebumps to three men racing within an inch of each other.

If you missed the British GP, let us recap the incident that is the talk of the town. On lap 39 of 52 of the race, Esteban Ocon’s mechanical problems forced a safety car. The safety car period reset Charles Leclerc’s lead and closed the pack up. The race restarted at lap 43 and that’s where the excitement began and the race gave us moments to remember the 2022 British GP for a long time.

After the restart, Sainz overtook Leclerc for the lead and Perez overtook Hamilton for P3. And the incidents that followed in the words of David Croft aka Crofty gave us some “unbelievable stuff.”
