Hamilton aims for more home-track success at British GP
SILVERSTONE, England (AP) — This weekend’s British Grand Prix offers Lewis Hamilton a chance to make a statement on and off the track after a buildup dominated by how Formula One deals with racism. Hamilton’s Mercedes team has struggled badly this season but has reason to hope for an improved performance at Silverstone. That’s where the British driver is an eight-time winner. The British track has a smooth surface which could reduce the Mercedes car’s tendency to bounce at speed, causing Hamilton back pain. Carlos Sainz was fastest in Friday practice ahead of Hamilton.
