## Resource

Will, Naomi and DC are back, after Barcelona and a moment of geniune sporting history - as Lewis Hamilton won his first Grand Prix in a Ferrari - and blew the race for the title wide open! A statement win for arguably the greatest to ever do it - was Lewis' victory a triumph of skill or strategy? How nervous will Mercedes and Toto Wolff be feeling and Nico Hulkenberg 's 'freak' retirement explained... Plus, why FIA 's U-Turn on Pierre Gasly 's penalty in Monaco has 'opened a can of worms' and if George Russell is also due a reprieve?
