A sodden English Grand Prix saw plenty of drivers skid off the track this weekend. While Brit Lewis Hamilton delighted his British fans in true fashion and a roaring win, the Ferrari team had to go home empty handed.
Starting out on a damp track, the race Hamilton soon took the lead in round five when he sneaked past Heikki Kovalainen after touching wheels with him at the start.
The crucial point in the race came when the Ferrari team failed to swap to wet weather tires in lap 21. Their failure to do this might just have cost them the race. Lucky for Hamilton, this was enough to rock away from the red team and claim the podium. McLaren’s decisions to stick with the wet weather Bridgestones proved worthwhile after all
