Post-GP Stats Analysis: Britain
Michele Merlino analyses the results and stats from round 9 of the championship, and highlights the movements on the all-time record tables
Hamilton's dominant win
Lewis Hamilton won his seventh race in Silverstone, the first for him starting from the second row of the grid.
Hamilton won by a margin of 1:08.577 over Nick Heidfeld, and this is the largest margin since Damon Hill led a depleted field by two laps in the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. In that race several front-runners retired due to collisions or mechanical failures, and Hill won ahead of Olivier Panis.
