Something often forgotton about this race is the driver's championship after Hamilton won this race:
Massa 48
Raikkonen 48
Hamilton 48
Kubica 46

What an intense start to the second half of the season

[shantanuseth]

Massa was the original promotor of "mission spinnow"in this race

[angelovargas]

"He came here to Silverstone, and He's shown them all, with one of the great great drives, at Silverstone." This part here gave me goosebumps, as the rainy clouds moved aside to give the young Briton his moment in the sun. I'm not a huge hamilton fan, but this is truly one of his greatest drives.

No one going to mention Rubens dragging that terrible Honda on to the podium? What a drive

[dirkgrimm]

Can't forget the outstanding moves of Nick 😍 He drove one of his best races in F1 that day

[joaopinto]

Lewis always had that confidence in himself even on extremely harsh conditions. It's great to be alive and watch his achievements!

[Balnazzardi]

Ferrari screwing Kimi's strategy....once again....they really went downhill with their race strategies after Ross Brawn left the team with Schumi after 2006. I really dont understand what they were thinking when they decided not to change the tyres...

[Mlaargaar]

Why in the hell did BMW Sauber not focus on continuing to improve their 2008 car?!? Kubica could've won the championship that year.

One tends to forget Nick Heidfeld, but in my mind he was one of the most underrated drivers of the 2000’s and he was mighty in the rain. He passed two cars in one move twice in this race!!!

4:17 Kubica Championship Conteneder... I miss those times

[guinnessharvey]

Lewis was already a master driver at this point. What a start

[seasonf]

Massa spins five times
five times?!

[AustinGMRS]

Everyone: spins, lose control, 360s

Lewis: enjoying driving while in rain

[TheMotherland]

Driver of the day is Rubens Barichello. Man went from 16th to 3rd in a HONDA

[hdhil]

Hamilton in the rain is truely beautiful

[DanHk_]

One of Hamiltons greatest performances in f1

[king-manu]

Hamilton entered f1 to be a champion. He would have been a champion in his rookie year hadn't it been for the whole conflict with Alonso, but he didn't hesitate on his second year.

[ianhys]

Still prefer these compact cars before 2010.
Also miss Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and BMW Sauber.

[benk]

Imagine questioning Hamilton’s commitment to racing

This is the race that defined hamilton's championship winning season.
