Silverstone. Skill and strategy won that. I'm still in awe at how good Lewis' tyre management was on those softs while Verstappen was behind him on better tyres in a better car, getting closer and closer lap by lap. It was an absolutely masterful performance, and the suspense went on to the very last lap.
Lewis winning for the first time in ages, after so many times where he was so close. And the fact it was a home win adds to that and makes it feel all the more special.
Canada was also great, although I imagine the guy who's been winning for years, particularly after last year when he had the most dominant F1 car of all time, winning again somewhat removed the shine for it for some people.
