When a driver says a grand prix win ranks among the best of another 87 it’d be difficult to find a fault in their performance. And there just wasn’t with Hamilton last weekend. He may have felt he left time hanging at the end of Q3 but Bottas and Verstappen not improving suggests he hadn’t. The race was simply magnificent.
He may not have won as he did at Silverstone but there was still nothing wrong with how Verstappen drove at Barcelona. Where before he’d been able to exploit a sudden Mercedes weakness, this time there was nothing but solid excellence from the reigning champion squad. And so, beating one of its cars in the race from where he should be starting earns a 10.
