LONDON. – Lewis Hamilton broke down in tears as he toasted his NINTH British Grand Prix win yesterday
The Mercedes driver was overcome with emotion as he finished on the top of the podium for the first time in 944 days with a record-breaking victory at Silverstone.
The British driver overtook Michael Schumacher’s record for most wins at a single circuit (8) with his first win since Saudi Arabia 2021.
Hamilton, who was in tears over the radio, said: “It means so much. Thanks to everyone.”
Rain wreaked havoc throughout the race as Hamilton, Russell and Norris vied for the lead in the opening laps.
You can write Max Verstappen off at your own peril though as the Red Bull shark hunted down his prey to overtake Norris late on and finish in second leaving the McLaren driver in third.
It was a nightmare afternoon for George Russell who was forced to retire his Mercedes with 18 laps to go due to a water systems issue after securing pole-position yesterday.’
Mercedes went away in formation but Lando Norris lost third-place to Verstappen, who had finished qualifying in fifth, on the opening lap.
Norris hit back strongly, ferociously bulldozing past Verstappen on lap 15 as the two battled it out once again.
More misery hit for Verstappen who was in the clutches of the other McLaren, Oscar Piastri who overtook on lap 17. – The Sun
