lewis hamilton fails to perform at the British Grand Prix

Whether is was over confidence or bad luck, Lewis Hamilton failed to scoop his dream win at the British Grand Prix.

He was leading the race until his first pit stop when he tried to drive off before the mechanics were finished with his car. He never managed to regain his lead and ended up third.

He has been hailed at the best British driver ever and the pressure to perform at his home course with thousands there to cheer him on including the Beckhams may have caused him to be not at full concentration.

His team mate Alonso came second in the race and Finnish driver Kimi Raikonen won the race.
