F1 British Grand Prix 2020 LIVE: Hamilton leads Bottas in closing stages, Kvyat loses wheel – latest race updates

LEWIS HAMILTON was made to work far harder than expected for victory in the British Grand Prix.

The two Mercedes drivers appeared to be cruising to a one-two before Bottas suffered a puncture with two laps left.

And then Hamilton himself had to bring his Mercedes home following a puncture, as he ended up edging out Max Verstappen by just five seconds.

Red Bull may rue what might have been after pitting Verstappen with a lap left to save his tyres when victory may have been in sight.
