Some would say it's better to be lucky than good, but when you're good and have luck on your side, you're unstoppable. One of the most incredible finishes in recent memory, chaos across the board late in the race in the form of hard tires unraveling across the field and causing some serious mayhem. It appeared to happen with Kvyat, it happened to Sainz; it happened to Hams on his last lap and most importantly it happened to Bottas with a few laps left, taking him from hunting Hams down late to getting held off from the final championship point by a recently struggling 4-time world champion in a red car. With Hamilton making it across the finish line, with sparks flying and his LF tire carcass almost completely separated, Hamilton's record collection was pushed even further along, but his point total was also increased by a margin of 25 over Bottas'. Valteri got a pretty bad draw and in reaction to all of the tire destruction and plans of going with even softer compounds for this weekends 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, at the very same tire abusing track, Pirelli looked into this matter quite seriously. I'll leave the other race highlights to today's video, but strong performances by many drivers in the top ten, including Ricciardo, Lando and Charles. With the checkered flag dropped, the Driver's Championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Bottas (-30), Verstappen (-36), Norris (-52), Leclerc (-55), Albon (-62).

Enjoy your motorsport weekends.
