Hamilton crushed the Silverstone lap record in qualifying for the 2017 British Grand Prix, with a 1:26.000 being over two and a half seconds quicker than the previous best lap on the current configuration.

YouTube user RandomnessOverall has taken onboard footage of Hamilton’s 2016 (the former record) and 2017 pole laps at Silverstone and put them side-by-side, to show just how much quicker these new cars are.

Watching onboard footage of the 2017 beasts powering through the quick corners really is amazing…

But it is boring. Not many overtakes and two teams dominating the whole competition. Sure, a lot of the V10 seasons cough 2002 cough were just as one-sided, but at least you had the sound as entertainment.
