Mercedes continued to show an impressive level of improvement at Silverstone as they locked out the front-row as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell secured his second pole position of the campaign.

In the dry conditions, Mercedes had the fastest car as they pulled away from 𝐆the McLare♐ns and Verstappen behind.

A great drive by Hamilton - com🀅bined with 💎perfect strategy - allowed the seven-time world champion to take his first win since 2021, ahead of Verstappen.

Mercedes’ upturn in per🎃formances comes at an interesting time given they’re still𒉰 yet to announce Russell’s teammate for next year.

“In a way, I think we need to stay calm, and conti🐓nue the season, continue to focus on the car, and then look at whether the options are still the same.

“But it’s not like t🏅here’s♔ changing everything upside down.”
