“Yes. The British GP… if I had to pick my highlight of the year was that. Five drivers could have won that race. Lewis’ final stint - there was a magic that only a Lewis or a Max or a Fernando have that extra bit of magic to deliver that s❀ort of performance. You saw it in Abu Dhabi.

“Qualifying was a mess but the race he drove. The magic is st♔ill there on a🔥 Sunday. He’s still there.”
