RACE REPORT
Behind Hamilton, it was a more eventful race for second-place starter
Rosberg. The championship leader held his starting position once the Safety Car
left the track but he soon found himself under pressure from Verstappen and on
lap 15 Rosberg was surprised by an audacious move from the Dutch teenager
around the outside through the high-speed Becketts corner.
After taking on medium tyres, Rosberg then set about rectifying the
situation and after shadowing the Red Bull driver for some 20 laps, he passed
the Dutchman with a good move around thee outside at Stowe as Verstappen
struggled with the rear tyre wear.
That should have cemented the title leader into second place but a handful of
laps from home, he got on the radio to say that he was experience gearbox issues.
