Formula One F1 - 70th Anniversary Grand Prix - Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Britain - August 9, 2020. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton after the race. [REUTERS/Bryn Lennon]Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won Formula One’s 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone yesterday to end Mercedes’ run and become Lewis Hamilton’s closest challenger. In a race dominated by tyres and strategy, Hamilton swept past Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas to take second place late in the race and stay 30 points clear in the standings. The champions were mindful that Hamilton and Bottas had both suffered late blowouts at the previous weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, when Hamilton won on three wheels, in trying to eke out a one-stopper.
