Lewis Hamilton: I’ve proved a point at Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton believes his crushing victory at the British Grand Prix is proof that his off-track demeanour should not be questioned.

Hamilton, 32, delivered a masterclass at Silverstone to win his home race for a record-equalling fifth time — and his afternoon was made all the sweeter when his championship rival Sebastian Vettel suffered a puncture on the penultimate lap.

Vettel, who was on course to finish third, crossed the line in seventh to enable Hamilton to move to within just one point of the German.
