Lewis Hamilton secured a thrilling victory at the British Grand Prix, outpacing Max Verstappen and Lando Norris in a nail-biting race marked by changing weather conditions.
This win marks Hamilton's first since December 2021 and his 104th career victory, setting a new record for the most wins at a single circuit with his ninth triumph at Silverstone.
The race saw Hamilton fending off a late surge from Verstappen's Red Bull, eventually clinching the win just ahead of his rival. Verstappen, who struggled with pace throughout the rain-affected race, found his stride in the final laps to take second place. Norris completed the podium, securing third place after a strong performance.
Emotions ran high as Hamilton, in his final British GP with Mercedes before moving to Ferrari next year, was visibly moved, expressing his gratitude to his team over the radio: "This means so much to me." His race engineer, Peter Bonnington, responded, "This one means a lot to us all." Hamilton's heartfelt reply, "I love you, Bono," captured the significance of the moment.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff hailed the victory as "a fairytale" for both the team and Hamilton, underscoring the emotional and historical weight of this remarkable win.
