Hamilton takes controversial eighth home British GP win

The Mercedes driver, now only eight points behind Verstappen after 10 races, passed Ferrari's Charles Leclerc for the lead with two laps to go as a capacity 140,000 crowd rose to cheer him on.

Hamilton went down the inside, Verstappen moved across and they tangled wheels -- the Red Bull's rear left touching the front right of the Mercedes.Red Bull said Verstappen was battered and bruised and in hospital for further checks. Team boss Christian Horner criticised Hamilton for a mistake he deemed amateur, dangerous and desperate.

The front-running pair are now at daggers drawn with Red Bull accusing Hamilton of dangerous driving and the Briton highlighting Verstappen's aggressive approach."This is a dream for me today, to do it in front of you all," Hamilton told the biggest crowd to attend a sporting event in Britain since COVID-19 made its presence felt. Last year's race was held without spectators.

"I gave not 100% but I gave 200%. I gave all of me but it was just not enough in the last two laps," said the Monegasque.
