'Hamilton and Verstappen in contention for British GP win' says Button

At the end of FP2 it was Lando Norris who prevailed among the rest of the drivers with a healthy margin to P2 placed man Charles Leclerc. Three and nearly five tenths separated Hamilton and Verstappen from the McLaren British driver.

Despite the substantial gaps Button notes that both of them can indeed be in the fray for the win at Silverstone. Speaking to Sky Sports the former F1 champion said as much.

McLaren team boss Zak Brown agreed with the former F1 driver turned analyst.

During media day, Hamilton referred to the Silverstone magic as the potential differentiator that could tip him to bag a good home race result. So far, it seems to be working. Whether that will still be the case for the remaining sessions remains to be seen.
