Heikki Kovalainen Believed Silverstone 2008 Sparked Lewis Hamilton’s Title Push

After slipping from the lead post-Monaco, Hamilton reached Silverstone fourth and behind Kovalainen on pace. In heavy rain, he surged from P4 to win by over a minute, radioing, “If I go any slower, I’ll lose concentration,” while wiping a misting visor. Wins in Germany and China followed. “He was ready to win, quick, focused, tough to beat,” Kovalainen said.
