Mercedes considered pitting Hamilton on last lap after Bottas failure
Mercedes has revealed that it opted against a precautionary late pit stop for Lewis Hamilton at the British Grand Prix, moments before his tyre deflation. Mercedes held a comfortable 1-2 at Silverstone but second-placed Valtteri Bottas suffered a left-front tyre deflation on lap 50 of 52. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came in at the end of lap 50 for a tyre change but Mercedes kept Hamilton out – only for the leader to suffer a deflation through Brooklands on the final lap. At that stage Hamilton held a 34-second advantage but that buffer rapidly reduced as he dragged his W11 across the remainder of the lap.
