He does, that's why he will go down as one of the all time greats of F1. If he wins today the record books open again. Not only will he be the first driver to win the race 6 times, he also becomes the first driver to win it 5 years in succession.
Barring any mishaps it's surely going to be Merc/Ferrari 1-2-3-4 today given the new upgrades of Ferrari. A bit predictable I know but can you really call this one?
You have answered your own question. Silverstone is a circuit that suits Mercedes, so it's no surprise that Hamilton is on pole and has the success he has there.
Had to laugh at his comments about how the track is though. When they first went to Baku, he laughed at the other drivers complaining about how bumpy it was, telling them they have it too easy with all the new billiard table circuits. Now it's his turn.
Motorsport is supposed to be physically challenging. The all time greats of the sport knew that a mistake could be very serious every race. From halo devices to tarmac run offs to safety cars for rain, the current generation have the life of Reilly by comparison. It's not the same.
