Lewis Hamilton looked strong over one lap at Silverstone, but the data suggests Max Verstappen could be a dark horse.

So when Norris swung through Abbey with the lead as the British fans roared, it felt like a breath of fresh air in a season that, thanks to Verstappen’s dominance, had started to feel a little suffocating. Of course, it lasted just four minutes before Verstappen retook the narrative, the lead and the win.

Halfway into the the season, Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari is yet to be called a success having not managed a single podium so far but there is hope with performance improving over a course of time.
