Ferrari surprised itself with its performance in the British Grand Prix - as it pulled off a one-three result, and one of motorsport's oldest maxims.
"To finish first, first you must finish."
Whilst Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes was hunting down the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in the closing stages, the W17 suffered yet another reliability issue with a wheel shield failure, effectively ending Antonelli's race.
After Silverstone, Hamilton is 32 points behind Antonelli and seven off George Russell in the drivers' standings, and Ferrari is 78 points behind Mercedes in the constructors'.
But has the team shown enough in the first nine races to be considered as serious title contenders?
