LEWIS HAMILTON was made to work far harder than expected for victory in the British Grand Prix.
The two Mercedes drivers appeared to be cruising to a one-two before Bottas suffered a puncture with two laps left.
And then Hamilton himself had to bring his Mercedes home following a puncture, as he ended up edging out Max Verstappen by just five seconds.
Red Bull may rue what might have been after pitting Verstappen with a lap left to save his tyres when victory may have been in sight.
