this is bbc news. the headlines at 6pm: the chancellor criticises cabinet colleagues for briefing against him as he defends his position on public sector pay. public—sector workers on average are paid about 10% more than private—sector workers. relative to private—sector workers are they overpaid? they are paid about a 10% premium relative to private—sector workers. the dawn of a new re—generation — jodie whittaker becomes the first woman actor to play doctor who. roger federer becomes the first man to win eight wimbledon finals — after beating first—time finalist marin cilic in three sets. acid—attack offenders could face life sentences as a new review looks into classifying corrosive substances as dangerous weapons. and lewis hamilton makes up ground

in formula 1 drivers championship, winning the british grand prix for a fourth consecutive year. the chancellor, phillip hammond, has defended the government's pay policy, saying public—sector workers get a 10% premium over the private sector once their pensions are taken into account. mr hammond would not comment on reports today that he said public workers were overpaid, but pointed out ministers should not be discussing private cabinet meetings. the man of the moment — for perhaps the wrong reasons.

philip hammond has, for the second time in a week, found himself defending private comments in public. the sunday times reports that, during a cabinet meeting on tuesday, the chancellor used language that the paper says left colleagues thunderstruck. mr hammond reportedly said public—sector workers are overpaid when you take into account pensions. would he deny that? i've told you, i'm not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet meeting. five of your colleagues have. they shouldn't have done, because cabinet meetings are supposed to be a private space in which we have a serious discussion. i am the chancellor, you would expect me to put a discussion about public—sector pay in the context of the fiscal and economic situation that we face. prison officers, teachers and nurses are among 5 million public—sector workers whose annual pay rises are capped at 1%. that is below inflation, meaning in real terms many have seen their pay cut. at the general election, labour promised to scrap the pay cap, but do public—sector workers deserve a pay rise above inflation?

i think they do but that will be up to the review bodies. what i won't be doing, which this government has done, is write to the review bodies and say, yes, you can review the pay, but you can only go to 1%, which effectively means a pay cut for most people. the chancellor's position on public—sector pay is being used by some of his colleagues to paint him as out of touch and, according to the man himself, by those who disagree with him about brexit. if you want my opinion, some of the noise is generated by people who are not happy with the agenda that i have, over the last few weeks, tried to advance, of ensuring that we achieve a brexit which is focused on protecting our economy, protecting ourjobs, and making sure that we can have continued rising living standards in the future. as protests over public—sector pay continue,

the chancellor says ministers should be getting on with the job. but the prime minister's authority is damaged after the election result and ministers do not seem to be in the mood for doing as they are told. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has accused the chancellor of being out of touch when it comes to pay. he said that he was detached from the reality of many people's lives. i think he is living on a different planet to many others. public—sector workers have had wages frozen for the past seven years. health workers, in reality, have had a 14% cut in pay. many teachers don't stay on in the profession because they can't afford to find somewhere to live on the salaries that they get and the strain they are under because of shortages. and many of our children are suffering because teachers frequently leave and have to be replaced, and so they don't get that continuity. i think he needs to think about these things a bit more. we need to lift the public—sector

pay cap and allow public—sector employees and their employers to negotiate for the future. does it make you feel angry that those running our country and making decisions at the moment seem to have such a big disconnect with people's actual experience? well, people have to be connected. if you're in politics, you have to be connected with the lives of the rest of the community. at the end of the day, that's why you are there and who you are there to represent. i just think there should be a bit more time spent talking to people who do all the difficultjobs in the public services. it is notjust those who are executives and directors. you need to talk to those that collect our bins, sweep our streets, that look after our children in nurseries and in hospitals. those porters, cleaners, admin staff, mental health workers, talk to all of them and realise the stress, pressure and dedication they have to public service. the international trade secretary, liam fox, has said the eu's brexit negotiators need to believe the government would walk

away rather than accept a bad brexit deal. he told andrew neil the prime minister's attitude on the uk's position was 100% right, despite his previous comments saying no deal would be bad for the country. i think that those we're negotiating with need to accept we won't accept any deal they give us. that was the problem cameron had... philip hammond has said that no deal would be a very, very bad outcome. the europeans know that we have realised that no deal with the very bad outcome. you can argue at the outcome would be, but it is very important as negotiating tool. prime minister is 100% right. those we are

negotiating less me to believe that we would walk away rather than accept a bad deal. if you're going to walk away, usually not say that the consequences would be very, very bad. you do not agree with them, you said that you are saying from the same song sheet. the key is what is oui’ same song sheet. the key is what is our negotiating position? you simply do not... we have a key moment, andy murray is serving for the mixed doubles. jamie murray, i should serving for the mixed doubles. jamie murray, ishould have serving for the mixed doubles. jamie murray, i should have said. with his partner, martina hingis, beating heather watson and her partner henry continent —— henri kontinen. martina hingis was a singles player

in her time. judy murray, the, jamie murray's mum. has played such an important part in the brothers's career and developing their talent. a good end on centre court after the disappointments of the roger federer and marin cilic match which, of course, ended after only three sets because of the injury which had been severed. marin cilic appeared to have had pain in his foot, some sort of injury, we're trying to find out about that, possibly severe blistering. causing a great deal of discomfort, he had two treatments. the match finished a lot earlier than many had expected. but this doubles match has really been a way of lifting the spirits on centre court this evening. andy murray waving to family and friends. high

fives they are from other members of the team. that could be martina hingis. let's cross to wimbledon and talk to hugh woozencroft. you're telling is that you thought it would be a good one, a lively performance. great news for martina hingis andjamie performance. great news for martina hingis and jamie murray tonight. yes, we were all was going to have at least one british winner. heather watson and henri kontinen, they were not able to do it, beaten in straight sets. it were the top seeds, martina hingis is a doubles specialist now. 20 years after she w011 specialist now. 20 years after she won the singles title. and very good end on centre court. a british victory, but at least it was guaranteed. and one a little earlier in the ladies's doubles final. wiley

and her japanese partner defended their title, it is the fourth year ina row their title, it is the fourth year in a row that they have won it. there was some british excess year on the last day of wimbledon. and some impressive performances. martina hingis is swiss, playing here with jamie murray. i had forgotten it was that long ago that she was a singles star. as you say, two decades ago, and yet her playing continues unabated, judging by her performance this afternoon. yes, she had a long period off in the middle of her career, but she returned just a few years ago. she has been playing ladies mixed doubles —— ladies doubles and mixed doubles. she would be happy because earlier on today her countryman, roger federer, what amazing day. his 11 final. a record eighth title, as he

w011 final. a record eighth title, as he won it against marin cilic. as you mentioned earlier, it was not the match we were expecting. he played five sets her last year, but federer took it in straight sets today. there was a visual bully upset marin cilic on court, he was so well known for his strong serve but it was not functioning in the first set —— a visibly upset marin cilic. he was in floods of tears, he called on the trainer and the doctor in the second set. we saw him very emotional indeed. that is not like him. he is known for his strong mentality out on court, but there was clearly something wrong. he called the trainer on a little later on and we saw him have strapping removed and thenit saw him have strapping removed and then it was put back onto his left foot. it seemed that he had severe blisters and that must have been causing trouble with his movement.

in the end, roger federer wrapping up in the end, roger federer wrapping up that final set 6—4. going one ahead of pete sampras. a great landmark for a roger federer. with that victory as well, you becomes the oldest man to win a wimbledon title, the second oldest man to win a grand slam and open era. a fantastic result for all of the swiss fans who travelled here to the all—england club today. they see martina hingis winning that mixed doubles final, and roger federer, what a champion, with his eighth title here at wimbledon. the williams sisters, roger federer, martina hingis, players's careers that can run and run. what has been the all abiding memory from the time you have spent at wimbledon this year? from a british perspective, johanna konta's run was outstanding. she had played at wimbledon five times previously and she had only

w011 times previously and she had only won one match. but she had reached the semifinals and there were high hopes of taking on venus williams. a five—time champion here wimbledon, what sort of quality she can produce. but that match captured the imagination of the british public. we know what andy murray can do, he has won her twice. that'sjohanna konta's run will live in the memory. the hopes will be very high that you can go all the way in 2018. thank you so much. as he finishes, we will look at the pictures of the presentation, and we will try to bring new doors, the presentation of the mixed doubles final championship. jamie murray and martina hingis. heather watson and henri kontinen first of all get their losers's medals, then it will be the moment of the presentation for murray and hingis. there we go,

well—deserved as they defended their title unsuccessfully on this occasion. but gave some brilliant tennis for an enthusiastic crowd, making up some of the disappointment of the men's final. and here we go, the champions. martina hingis and jamie murray! commentator: so one murray at least holds up a trophy at the london this year. and i am sure his brother was watching somewhere and is thrilled that his elder brother is a champion once again here. studio: there we are, jamie murray

and martina hingis celebrating their victory in the mixed doubles at wimbledon. 0ne wimbledon. one thing that was revealed at the end of the men's singles championship was not who won that match, it was who was going to be the next who, if i am allowed to see that, because of course the character is called the doctor in the long—running series. longest—running science fiction series in the world. the 13th actor to play the part isjodie whittaker, best known to tv audiences for her

role in broadchurch. let us look at what awaits peter capaldi's successor. iamjoined by i am joined by the writer and director matthew sweet. it is a pleasure to speak to you as always about the subject... and to you! i have to out myself as a firm doctor who fan as well. i have given up. i am impartialand who fan as well. i have given up. i am impartial and most anything, who fan as well. i have given up. i am impartialand mostanything, but on this i am anything other than

biased. i love the programme and i have ever since i was a wee tot and i know you feel the same. 0riginally it was a way of getting a few cheap newspaper headlines, but in truth it has finally come to pass, a woman in the tardis. what takes so long? this was the most obvious change that it could make, and it drives on change. you could see from that clip how doctorish she is. it looked great and the costume looks great.|j wonder if that will be the costume 01’ wonder if that will be the costume or whether it is a neutral same in the run—up and we will get a big surprise in the foot a graph reveal. we topped for 12 doctors about what they would wear, with they have a

long scarf, victorian coulter doll dressed it, but what about the reaction of fans. fans have mixed views about the idea of a woman doctor. if they have mixed views, what will be the views of the general viewing public? they should not have mixed views about it. even amongst literal minded doctor who fan would not be surprised. anybody who is uncomfortable about this, you have to ask, what else is happening in their lives? why are they not devoting themselves to difficult questions like why is mr universe was from s? it is ridiculous to complain about this. this always seems to generate huge attention. you can understand the first time they did it why it would be big news, because it would pretty much never have been done in broadcasting before, in a drama series. you

probably can correct me on that, but certainly it was a pretty unusual thing to have done, and slightly more convincing than changing the actress in dynasty many years later. why are we interested every time that it happens, or is itjust you and me? it has become an event, and rob lee in a way that it was not quite so much in the past. —— probably in a way. it has become pa rt probably in a way. it has become part of the cultural landscape and it now feels like a real marker, almost like a change of prime minister ina almost like a change of prime minister in a strange kind of way. and slightly less frequent. yes, indeed, and maybe slightly less predictable as well. it has become pa rt predictable as well. it has become part of lives, even if you do not like doctor who, or have never watched it, and might be thinking

why are these two macron talking about this as if it is something important... just in terms of what jodie whittaker brings to this as an actor, i was talking tojohn culshaw earlier, the star of tom baker, the man his husseins more alike tom baker van tom baker these days —— who sounds more like tom baker. he said that there was something about her eyes, her looks, the quality that she brings on camera. i wonder what you make of that and something which struck you when watching broadchurch? she certainly looks as if she knows something, like she has a secret or if she is contemplating something. her performance in broadchurch, a terribly sombre series, really, iwonder broadchurch, a terribly sombre series, really, i wonder if she will bring something of that. when i first saw her in venus, opposite

peter o'toole, where she is incredibly funny and subversive, maybe she will bring some of that to it as well. with doctor who, the actor's personality is always a really important part of the performance, so she needs to, and will, i am sure, bring what she has got to that part, because a lot of it, there is more of it in the actor thanis it, there is more of it in the actor than is on the page sometimes, doctor who. presumably but different writers, keeping the consistency of the character. i hope that they do not change too much, the writers do not change too much, the writers do not think, we have to rate this character really differently because it is being played by a female actor. what i really hope is that they have some way of keeping bill on as the companion. it would be quite something to see them travelling the universe together.m

would be interesting to see them having two female actors playing the two lead roles. in recent years we tend to think of the assistant as a woman. i also wonder about the importance of the fact that the man in charge of the series has worked with her for several years, presumably with a part like this you need the reassurance and confidence that this person cannot only cope with all the pressures that come with all the pressures that come with it but can bring something distinctive to it? yes, and he will know her very well. they have been working together for three years on broadchurch. he has obviously observed her doctor characteristics. it comes with a lot of baggage, it transforms lives of the people who ta ke transforms lives of the people who take it on, and notjust when they're playing it, once you are the doctor you cannot escape it. any actor to play it on hast except that it comes of the pension, actually, but also with this idea that once

you are in the tardis you never get out of it. in some ways, a bit of a prison cell for some actors. and nice prison cell! we hope so, her sake. a real pleasure to speak to you about this. matthew sweet, a huge doctor who fan. critics say that the legislation, which was passed by the senate yesterday will erode the independence of the judiciary and undermine democracy in poland and accused the government of a coup.

what is the basis of this allegation ofa coup? what is the basis of this allegation of a coup? after all, this has been passed by the democratically elected parliament, the government that was chosen by polish people what..., what, 18 months ago?|j chosen by polish people what..., what, 18 months ago? i think some of the language used by the opposition has tended to be somewhat overblown. in this case, the leader of the main opposition party was red herring to a coup d'etat in the country's judicial system that mack was red herring to. because at the moment it isjudges and judicial herring to. because at the moment it is judges and judicial circles that nominate judges is judges and judicial circles that nominatejudges in is judges and judicial circles that nominate judges in poland is judges and judicial circles that nominatejudges in poland and then they are appointed by the president. what this legislation does is at its tra nsfers what this legislation does is at its transfers that power from the judicial circles to the country's parliament, which is dominated by the governing law and justice party.

it also enables the justice minister to appointjudges without consulting judicial circles. this view here among opposition parties and among the people demonstrating in warsaw todayis the people demonstrating in warsaw today is that the governing party will use these tools to appoint their own people as judges. will use these tools to appoint their own people asjudges. and therefore, in the rise, the opposition... the thing that poland's courts will become politicised, which remains people here in poland of the bad old days of coming at them. -- of communism. there have been suggestions that the european union might consider some kind of sanctions against poland, does this make it more likely? the european commission for the past 18 months is investigating whether the polish government committed a

serious breach in the rule of law, that has been going on for 18 months and does not look like it will conclude soon. the commission said that it will urgently take up these urgent reforms —— latest reforms and its meeting this week, but its options are limited and it is still to be seen whether they can do anything which will have enough leveraged to make the government backed down. tougher sentences for people convicted of acid attacks are to be considered as part of a government review. the latest official figures suggest there were more than 400 assaults involving corrosive substances in england and wales in the six months to april. this report from our home affairs correspondent danny shaw contains some distressing images from the start. the effects can be devastating. this is 21—year—old resham khan after acid was thrown at her through a car window while she waited at traffic lights. her cousin jameel muhktar also suffered severe burns in the attack in east london last month. a man has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. attacks like this appear to be on the increase. police provided data for acid

attacks between last november and april this year. 408 incidents were recorded by police in 39 forces. the most commonly used substances were bleach, ammonia and acid. one in five offenders was younger than 18, where the age of the suspect was known. the home secretary, amber rudd, has now ordered a review to ensure that everything possible is being done to prevent acid attacks. life sentences in the most serious cases are already available. the home office wants perpetrators to feel the full force of the law. a lot of victims have said that really their life has been ruined, so why aren't there life sentences? so to really make sure that the whole system really responds urgently and thoroughly to this appalling crime, and at the heart of everything we do must be the victim. the review will also examine whether the 1972 poisons act should

be widened to cover more substances. retailers will be consulted about measures to restrict sales of harmful chemicals. customers may have to provide proof of their age. in the latest attacks on thursday night, five moped riders in london were allegedly targeted in the space of 90 minutes. a 16—year—old boy has been charged and willappear in court tomorrow. time for the weather. warmer weather on the way, tonight a cooler night. 0vernight, we continue with cloud and outbreaks of rain in north—west scotland, with a brisk breeze. those places overnight are looking dry, clearing skies and

temperatures looking like this, some spots just temperatures looking like this, some spotsjust dipping into temperatures looking like this, some spots just dipping into single figures. do not be fooled by the cool start tomorrow, because in widespread sunshine the temperature will head up quite quickly. cloud and outbreaks of rain in the northern alves, with some breeze. it is light winds and sunny and becomes warm to bury warm by monday afternoon. as we look at things beyond monday, it is hot for some on tuesday, but by the end of tuesday, cheating eight into wednesday, some thundery showers spreading north —— tuesday night into wednesday. trouble in the cabinet: the chancellor accuses some of his colleagues of briefing against him. philip hammond said they were trying to undermine his attempts to secure a brexit deal which protected jobs and the economy. i'm not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet meeting.

five of your colleagues have. they should not have done. cabinet meetings are supposed to be a private space in which we have a serious discussion. also coming up on the programme this evening... tougher sentences for people convicted of acid attacks are to be considered in a government review. he did it — roger federer makes history — the first man to win the singles title eight times. to the delight of the crowds, lewis hamilton secures his fifth british grand prix victory at silverstone. and revealed — the new doctor who. good evening.

the chancellor, philip hammond, has said cabinet colleagues who have been briefing the media against him should instead focus on thejob in hand. after newspaper reports about discussions around the cabinet table — he said noise was being generated by people opposed to his focus on jobs and the economy during brexit. he also addressed claims he'd described public sector workers as "ov here's our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. he is the man of the moment. though not for the reasons he would like. for the second time this week, the chancellor has found himself defending private comments in public. this time accused of saying public. this time accused of saying public sector workers are overpaid. something he did not deny. public sector workers are overpaid. something he did not denylj public sector workers are overpaid. something he did not deny. i have told you, i will not talk about what came out of a private cabinet meeting. five of your colleagues

have. they should not have done, frankly. cabinet meetings are supposed to be a space where we have a private discussion. you would expect me to put private sector pay in the context of the fiscal and economic situation we face. among the millions of public sector workers, it is teachers out protesting today, plus others like police officers and nurses who faced a1% police officers and nurses who faced a 1% pay cap and 2012. celebrating workers' rights at a festival in dorset, the labour leader accused the chancellor of being out of touch. i think he is living on a different planet. public sector workers have had frozen wages for seven years. workers have had a 14% cut in pay. many teachers do not stay in the profession because they cannot afford to find somewhere to live on the salaries they get and the strains their under because of shortages. the chancellor hinted

there could be better news for public sector worker the macro workers in the budget later this year but he slapped down rivals talking against him. some of the noise is being generated by people who are not happy with the agenda i have tried to advance of ensuring that we achieved a brexit which is focused on protecting our economy, protecting our jobs, and focused on protecting our economy, protecting ourjobs, and making sure we can have continued rising living standards in the future. one of the cabinet's prominent leave campaigners, the international trade secretary, denied being behind the briefings. absolutely deplore leaks from the cabinet. i think my collea g u es from the cabinet. i think my colleagues should be very quiet, stick to their own departmental duties, and i think the public expect us to be disciplined and effective. 0ur backbenchers are furious and the only people smiling will be in berlin and paris. public

sector workers continued to make their concerns known, as it seems to members of the cabinet who with the prime minister's authority in tatters, are in no mood to do as they are told. and eleanor is in downing street for us now. how much should we make of this row around the cabinet table? the knives are certainly out. there is a rabble about public sector pay itself. the chancellor is intent on fiscal discipline but a handful of ministers have made clear they think the party's stance on pay damaged them during the election. it is an important issue but it is one some see as a short—term dilemma in contrast issues such as what type of brexit we end up with, and that is a significant part of this briefing from mr hammond. there is opposition in the cabinet to his insistence that jobs in the cabinet to his insistence thatjobs come in the cabinet to his insistence that jobs come first. in the cabinet to his insistence thatjobs come first. add to that the prime minister's own weakness,

and the speculation and jostling around the pa rty‘s and the speculation and jostling around the party's leadership, and you have the perfect ingredients for a pretty big row, but the conservatives do not want a leadership contest. they are calling for calm ahead of the summer break. eleanor garnier, thank you. roger federer has been crowned wimbledon champion for a record eighth time, beating croatia's marin cilic in straight sets this afternoon. live now to wimbledon and our sports correspondent, joe wilson. hello. facts and figures tell you a lot about sport and in terms of numbers, federer is out on his own. but there is also style. what we have seen at this year's wimbledon is the performance of a true artist. a performance which almost defies time. mr cilic, have you met the men's greatest tennis player of all—time? everyone knew the of federer and the

opportunity of this final. seven times he had won at wimbledon, just the record—breaking eighth remained. marin cilic began this final trying to be positive. but here is the problem. assume the point is one. it isn't. federer broke twice to win the first set, and he showed his full repertoire. are you serious? even when cilic got his serve in, there was federer. if it does not go right, go left. 36 minutes gone, a set down already, what now? what next? 3—0 down in the second set, cilic seemed deeply troubled. whether physical or emotional, for a minute or two we wondered if he would even continue. cilic played on but federer breezed through the second set, 6—1. however good your view, it is only fun to watch if it isa view, it is only fun to watch if it

is a match. but depended on cilic digging in. in the third set there we re digging in. in the third set there were signs of that. the crowd appreciated it. cilic had treatment on his blistered foot. it did not help but the key factor was federer. in the final federer won eight games. federer has won eight titles. so he took the trophy on his the malia tour. he knows the way by now. they will be waiting beneath the balcony. let's remember, just last year, federer had months of from tennis. there had been knee injuries, surgery, recovery. we were contemplating the end of his career. not imagining all this. you know, i believed i could maybe come back and do this again and if you believe you can be really far in your life and i think i did that and i am happy. i kept on believing and dreaming and i am here today. it is fantastic. is

he the greatest sportsman of all time? when you look at his accomplishments, certainly in an individual sport in a global game, it is difficult to think of other athletes who have transcended the sport as much as he has. with four children and at the age of 35, federer can —— won his title without losing a set. he may have broken into a sweat. tougher sentences for people convicted of acid attacks are to be considered as part of a government review. the latest official figures suggest there were more than 400 assaults involving corrosive substances in england and wales in the six months to april. this report from our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, contains some distressing images from the start. the effects can be devastating. this is 21—year—old resham khan after acid was thrown at her through a car window while she waited at traffic lights. her cousin jameel muhktar also suffered severe burns in the attack in east london last month. a man has been charged with grievous

bodily harm with intent. attacks like this appear to be on the increase. police provided data for acid attacks between last november and april this year. 408 incidents were recorded by police in 39 forces. the most commonly used substances were bleach, ammonia and acid. one in five offenders was younger than 18, where the age of the suspect was known. the home secretary, amber rudd, has now ordered a review to ensure that everything possible is being done to prevent acid attacks. life sentences in the most serious cases are already available. the home office wants perpetrators to feel the full force of the law. a lot of victims have said that really their life has been ruined, so why aren't there life sentences? so to really make sure that the whole system really responds urgently and thoroughly to this appalling crime, and at the heart of everything we do must be the victim.

overwhelmed, as a feminist, a woman and an actor to be cast as the drama's first female doctor —— jodie whittaker. it is a role which demands a huge range of motion, something jodie has often demonstrated in roles like the trillions. you will have to forgive me, i have been caning it all weekend. to playing a bereaved mother in award—winning drama broadchurch. it is complicated. a show in which she has appeared alongside the former doctor who companion arthur darvel and a former doctor in david tennant. casting strong female lead has been a popular strategy with audiences in films like star wars and on tv shows like game of thrones. do you think all fans will welcome a female doctor? i think most will. some will

not be sure but they should remember that doctor who is all about change and this is potentially a really big exciting change to the show. with the bbc having committed itself to greater diversity, it will be hoping that today's announcement will not only excite viewers, but clearly demonstrate that the time travel show has moved firmly into the 21st century. we've heard the wimbledon men's final result already — but lizzie greenwood—hughes has the rest of the day's sport. thanks very much. good evening. lewis hamilton has won the british grand prix for a record—equalling 5th time. the historic victory moves him to within a point of sebastien vettel at the half way stage — after the championship leader suffered a dramatic, late puncture. 0ur correspondent patrick gearey reports from silverstone. silverstone 50 years ago. a scotsman ina silverstone 50 years ago. a scotsman in a lotus board won the british grand prix for the fifth time. jim

clark surrounded by wonder and flowers. now anyone who comes here can experience every curve, every straight, every tire. but only one could really feel how clark felt. lewis hamilton certainly started with the same view. everyone behind him. but watch the rear—view mirror. kimi raikkonen tried to overtake but not so fast. hamilton went. more to keep an eye on further back. sebastian vettel had been caught by max but charged back at him full of adrenaline. f1 does dodgems. vettel eventually passed on but hamilton was over the horizon. the only question was whether he could get in and out of the pits still ahead? of course they could. his position would improve. kimi raikkonen was beaten by valtteri bottas for second and vettel‘s championship lead was about to dramatically be flaked. he went from third to seventh. lewis
