Ahead of his post-British Grand Prix media session, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff walked into the team's hospitality unit, shook some hands, flashed a grin and said: "Best race ever!"
A race that had looked good turned into the team's best of the year so far, a resounding one-two with Ferrari's lead driver limping home in seventh. While much of this season has seen Mercedes yinging and yanging with performance, Ferrari has remained consistent and often capitalised whenever the world champions have dropped points. Ahead of the weekend Wolff had called on the world champions to "put things right" for the team -- in particular Lewis Hamilton -- after reliability issues had squandered a win in Baku and at least a podium in Austria.
