#5 British Grand Prix
As it was announced earlier that the 2019 British Grand Prix would be the last to be held at super amazing Silverstone circuit, we already know it's going to be the toughest goodbye. Firstly we got to see the splendid qualifying sessions in recent times where top 3 drivers were separated with mere 0.098 seconds. Even before we got to witness the splendid finale, we saw a fascinating battle between Raikkonen who got a penalty for hitting Hamilton, and Verstappen.
Carlos Sainz and Grosjean collided at copse corner to force the second safety car in and everyone awaited the grand finish. It was an anxious sight where everyone thought that Bottas might maintain his lead but Vettel cleverly marched his way forward with the chequered flag fast approaching and successfully bagged the British Grand Prix win wherein Hamilton bagged the second spot on the podium.
