PALMER: Hamilton’s Silverstone win was a masterclass – and he should be right in the mix in Hungary too

On Sunday he took his ninth home victory and incredibly his twelfth consecutive British Grand Prix podium. Considering he’s had a comparatively lacklustre last couple of seasons it shows how he always makes things happen for this one, however the rest of his year is going.
