Dominant Lewis Hamilton stuns F1 by staving off Max Verstappen on three wheels

On 2 August 2020, Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in extraordinary circumstances, crossing the finish line on effectively three functioning tyres after his front-left tyre failed on the final lap. Hamilton had dominated the race from pole position, but late tyre failures also struck teammate Valtteri Bottas, who dropped to P11, and Carlos Sainz, who fell to P13. Hamilton held off Max Verstappen to claim victory despite the dramatic mechanical failure, producing one of the most iconic finishes in Formula 1 history.
