I really think the lead of 35 points was exaggerated in scale, when in reality it was only 1 DNF to clear most of it, and 29 pts theoretically available in one weekend. I sometimes think commentators are still thinking in the old points system and when there were far fewer races, but it was never a mountain to climb.
Verstappen had a good run of results and went ahead, but it's only July.
I was expecting that Hamilton would have raced off into the distance at the restart - I said so here. I didn't pick up if there was a reason that he didn't. The Mercedes at Silverstone is surely a better car than the Ferrari.
