After much criticism, Lewis Hamilton redeemed himself at home in the English Grand Prix. The McLaren driver won the race under precarious situations due to heavy rain and a extremely wet track. He dominated the race since the beginning leaving behind BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld for more than a minute's distance.

Another driver to have a sensational race was Rubens Barrichello. After starting in the 16th position, the Brazilian gained 10 spots in the first lap. Then making the right choice by switching to heavy rain tires, the rain got worse and the Honda driver heroically finished with the 3rd position.
