Lewis Hamilton will win the British Grand Prix using the racism he experienced at the hands of Nelson Piquet as fuel, according to Mercedes chief Toto Wolff.
For the first time in many years, the seven-time world champion is not one of the front-runners for victory at Silverstone. Instead, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are the favourites, with Red Bull and Ferrari showing much better performance so far this season.
But Mercedes are bringing a car upgrade with them to Silverstone, one which they hope will help them to close the gap to those two teams ahead of them. "I think Silverstone will be a circuit that suits us a little bit better," said technical director Mike Elliott as he assessed the Silver Arrows' chances.
