WATCH: Chaos in the pitlane during the 2016 British Grand Prix
The 2016 British Grand Prix was a weird one, with rain pouring down 15 minutes before the race and forcing the cars to run behind a safety car for the first 5 laps.
The cars had to be on the mandatory wets initially and then shifted onto the intermediates, before shifting onto the dry weather tyres.
Now, when all the cars came into the pits in order to shift from the wets to intermediates, a very dangerous/satisfying video footage came through, with all cars avoiding each other in the most dramatic way possible.
Check out the video:

While to some it might seem a little dangerous, to others the video is probably he most satisfying thing in F1, as the cars, refuse to collide, despite sliding off due to the rain.
Hamilton ultimately won the race with some ease, claiming his 47th win. The main action all through the race was the battle between Verstappen and Rosberg, with the duo fighting tooth and nail for 2nd place and maybe a shot at the race win later on.
The duo exchanged places on multiple occasions, even after the race, as despite finishing in 2nd position, Rosberg had to give up his spot, as he received a post race penalty, following Mercedes’ illegal instructions.
United States Grand Prix 2018
The upcoming US Grand Prix could see Hamilton become World Champion for the 5th time, as he already has a 67 point lead over Vettel.
If Hamilton manages the win, he would overtake Vettel, who too currently has 4 titles to his name.
How do you think the US Grand Prix will pan out?
