Lewis Hamilton closes in through tight F1 traffic

Lewis Hamilton is named in the post metadata as the subject of an onboard Formula 1 sequence that captures a close pursuit, a side-by-side move and a brief return to clear air on a closed circuit road course.
Lewis Hamilton is the named subject of this onboard Formula 1 sequence, which centres on a tense spell of close-quarters racing rather than a result or post-race quote.
The car runs in traffic through a tree-lined circuit with barriers close to the racing surface, then draws alongside a red rival before the track opens up again. The steering inputs and the narrow margins at the edge of the circuit give the run a hard-fought feel.
No wider race outcome is supplied, so the value here is in the pressure of the moment: Hamilton's car is repeatedly within striking distance, including a side-by-side phase and a later attempt to stay alongside through a bend.
