The "classic British summer" jibes aside, the British Grand Prix weekend faced an atypical barrage of cold and inclement weather - it felt more like a February's half-hearted release of the winter's last remnants, rather than a sun-baked July. Although unwelcome for the fans who had failed to pack a coat, the inconsistent lashings of rain throughout the weekend at least soaked the Silverstone round in drama.
A chance of victory changed hands multiple times throughout the 52-lap run-time, as all three Brits on the grid held the lead through different phases of the race. In his final British Grand Prix for Mercedes, it was perhaps fitting that Lewis Hamilton - a prior winner of eight grands prix at Silverstone - secured his ninth to envelop his team in an emotional downpour.
