Lewis Hamilton swept to his fourth consecutive victory at the British Grand Prix on Sunday to move within a single point of world championship leader Sebastian Vettel. Vettel and Verstappen were scrapping on and off the track in a fight for third, giving the packed crowd several thrilling moments. This gave Bottas his chance to take third ahead of Vettel and Verstappen, both having swept past Hulkenberg, to run behind Hamilton who led Raikkonen by six seconds. With 10 laps remaining, Hamilton was clear by 12 seconds and Bottas, fourth, was closing on Vettel, intent on fighting for a podium finish. This encouraged the men behind him to close in for the final laps as Hamilton reeled off another fastest lap to prove his mastery.
