Lewis Hamilton issued a blunt dismissal of a claim from Christian Horner the Mercedes botched their British Grand Prix strategy.
Hamilton enjoyed one of his strongest results of the year, delighting the Silverstone crowd with a third-place finish while being one of the fastest drivers on the track. That came after an intense dogfight with Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc as they all fought desperately for a spot on the podium.
But Red Bull chief Horner said afterwards it could have been even better for him. "I was actually surprised that Lewis, with the amount of laps to go, and the degradation that he's shown, didn't take a soft," he told Sky Sports F1 when analysing the Silver Arrows' tyre strategy.
