British GP: Lewis Hamilton's brilliance and another race for Nico Hulkenberg
Even Lewis Hamilton's team-mate was impressed by the world champion's pole position lap at the British Grand Prix on Saturday.
Hamilton is really beginning to build up some momentum in this delayed, truncated, almost surreal coronavirus F1 season.After a sticky start at the first race, Hamilton has won the past two and this was his third consecutive pole. It puts him in a perfect position to extend the championship lead he took for the first time in Hungary a fortnight ago.
"I tried to keep that in mind still this weekend while I didn't have the same feeling knowing no-one would be here. I really just tried to remember and reminisce on the past few years and try to somehow get that energy and utilise it, which is not that easy. Max Verstappen said the car had improved its behaviour after updates this weekend. But not only was he still 1.022secs off Hamilton's time, he was also 0.049secs slower than the Dutchman's own qualifying time at Silverstone last year. And this was not the first time this season Red Bull have failed even to match their own pace from 2019.
Perez's substitute is his former team-mate Nico Hulkenberg, who slipped out of F1 last year after being dropped by Renault. And the German did a predictably solid job.
