SILVERSTONE, England: Lewis Hamilton limped to a record seventh British Grand Prix victory with his heart in mouth and a prayer on his lips after a dramatic last-lap puncture turned his Mercedes into aIn an astonishing end to a race he had dominated from pole position, the six-times world champion nursed his stricken Mercedes across the line to stretch his Formula One world championship lead to 30 points.
"That was definitely a heart in the mouth kind of feeling... I was just praying to get around and not be too slow. I nearly didn't get around the last few corners. Thank God we did."The victory was the 87th of Hamilton's F1 career - leaving him four short of Ferrari great Michael Schumacher's all-time record of 91 - and his third in a row. It was also probably his greatest escape.
Canadian Lance Stroll was ninth for Racing Point, and Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took the final point.
