The Polesitter

  F1 is brutal. It is high speed. It is high risk. It requires precision. It requires boldness.  The 2021 British Grand Prix is a race that will be talked about for the entire season because of one and only one moment that took place at Copse corner on lap 1. That is the contact made between title rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen which sent the dutchman into the wall at incredibly high speed resulting in a 51G crash and a red flag.

The Brit had suffered damage to his floor on lap 29 before coming in for his pit stop, which meant that he was losing more than half a second a lap to the l
