It’s arguably the mark of a true champion to turn near defeat into a winning position on their main rival’s home turf. That’s exactly what Lewis Hamilton did at the 2016 German Grand Prix; dialling in relentless pace on race day to score a dominant lights to flag win.
Right up until the start lights snuffed out on Sunday, teammate Nico Rosberg had been the racer in charge; clocking in what was possibly one of the finest qualifying laps of his career, to score his 27th pole position, as well as the privilege of starting his second home race – Monaco being the other – on the all important pole position grid slot.
