Nothing to do this time for Nico Rosberg. After the victory in Austria, where despite starting from second place he managed to burn Hamilton at the start and then reaching the finish line first, this time the driver of the Mercedes he had to give up the top step of the podium to his teammate. Not only that, for most of the match his number one opponents were the two Williams di Sponge e Bottas, however, they only reached the finish line fourth and fifth.
The German of Mercedes he also paid the right intuition of Hamilton, returned to the pits for the pit stop before its rivals Whole grained. Rosberg, which a Silverstone he hoped to reduce the gap to Lewis in the general classification to a minimum, so he starts chasing again.

“After leaving I had both Williams in front and I found myself blocked and unable to approach them,” he explained Rosberg at the end of the race, burned at the start by the English team's riders and forced to chase them for almost half the race. “It was quite annoying but then the rain came and I was relieved. I felt great when the track started to get wet. At that point I was able to attack and pass both Williams, as well as getting very close to Lewis. I hoped that things would stay like this and that sooner or later I would have the chance to attack him but then he came back. I was sure there was a mistake in that call so I was also happy to see it come back. But instead that was the winning move for him because with each lap it started to rain more. Following Lewis into the pits would have meant a definitive loss for me, so I stayed out and tried but in the end that's how it went. I gave everything but it didn't work."
