Lewis Hamilton stormed to victory at the British Grand Prix. The Englishman almost took the lead in the first lap, and even touched wheels with team mate Heikki Kovalainen.

It was an action packed race as usual at Silverstone, which is set to be the penultimate race there as the British Grand Prix will be held elsewhere in England after 2010.

The rain poured during the early stages. This really upset the drivers, with experienced racers such as Hamilton, Massa, Webber and Raikkonen all sliding off the track.

Tyre choices were again crucial, as Hamilton chose to stick with Intermediate tyres after his pit stop, allowing him to capitalise on the drying track and storm to victory over a minute ahead of his closest rivals.

BMW were again on the ball, with Nick Heidfeld and Rubens Barichello finishing second and third respectively.

Kimi had to make do with fourth place, ahead of McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen. This has caused there to be a tie in the lead for the world championship, with Lewis, Felipe and Kimi all tied on the same points score.

We shall certainly look forward to the remaining races this year. We’ll see you at the German Grand Prix!
