Bottas surprises Hamilton at Silverstone

2020-08-08T14:31:26.923Z


Like last week on the British circuit, the Mercedes dominated qualifying. Except this time the Finn beat the Englishman for pole.


On another planet. Mercedes scarcely fear themselves, or possibly their Pirelli tires. Thus, this Saturday, during the qualification of the Grand Prix of the 70th anniversary of the discipline, contested on the Silverstone circuit, Valtteri Bottas signed the pole position, thus surprising his teammate Lewis Hamilton, big favorite after his demonstration there is a week right here. And another surprise came from Nico Hulkenberg, third in the session. Landed a week ago at Racing Point to compensate for the absence of Sergio Perez, still tested positive for Covid-19, the German was unable to take the start due to a mechanical problem. His third place this Saturday sounds like a great revenge for him.
