The pandemic-enforced break from Formula One could prolong Lewis Hamilton's career.

SILVERSTONE – The pandemic-enforced break from Formula One could prolong Lewis Hamilton's career.

He heads into the British Grand Prix on Sunday as the favourite to win at his home circuit of Silverstone for a seventh time but for the first time without any fans there to cheer him on due to the pandemic. The race is the fourth in a championship that should have begun in March. The coronavirus has hit the Silverstone race with Sergio Perez forced out after testing positive on Thursday.

“Romain originally reached out to me and we had a great conversation,” added Hamilton. “We learned we had more in common than we perhaps thought. He is clearly a caring person. It’s not easy for anybody to admit they’re wrong. And that’s a great first step.
