Redemption for Hamilton at the same corner!
He's got him, ironically at Copse where he had the incident with Max Verstappen.
The majority of 140,000 people go crazy at Silverstone.
THREE laps to go, Leclerc still leads.

Where are they going to catch the traffic?!
Can Leclerc hold him off for three laps? He's not won since September 2019.
Hamilton seven tenths away, three laps to go.
Here comes Hamilton. This could be it on lap 49.
Bottas looks comfortable in third, is he going to be thinking his Mercedes time is coming to an end after being told to let his team-mate through, when we're only in race 10 of the season.
Four laps to go. Leclerc's lead is down to 1.2 seconds.
Leclerc's lead is less than two seconds, lap 67 of 72.
Hamilton, on this pace, is going to get him in three laps.
Another absolute epic in a season that has been largely superb. Beautiful sun, 140,000 fans in, a race to the end.
Why we all love F1.
In all the drama, didn't mention Sebastian Vettel, he's out.
Gasly has to pit for a puncture and Raikkonen has spun.
FIVE laps to go. The gap is 2.2 seconds.
We asked who's going to win? Thumbs up for Leclerc, thumbs down for Lewis.
You say, Lewis.

Simon: Who would have thought at the beginning of the season that Leclerc would win a GP before Bottas?
Andrew Priestley: Lewis Hamilton *might* just be able to close the gap to Charles Leclerc by the end of the race, but will he have any life left in his tires when he gets there to pull off a race-winning move?
1. Leclerc, 2. Hamilton, 3. Bottas, 4. Norris, 5. Ricciardo, 6. Sainz, 7. Alonso, 8. Stroll, 9. Gasly, 10. Ocon.
Six laps to go, it's all up for grabs.
We're on lap 45 of 52. These last seven laps for Charles Leclerc are going to seem the longest of his life.
Another lap gone, another second wiped off the lead, it's down to 4.4 seconds.

Charles Leclerc has a chance here but it is going to be so tight!
