Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton ends win drought with record ninth title at Silverstone
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, 39, secured his first Formula One victory in 945 days with a record ninth British Grand Prix win on Sunday.
The Mercedes driver’s last win was in Saudi Arabia on December 5, 2021, and Sunday marked his 104th career victory.
Red Bull’s triple world champion Max Verstappen finished 1.4 seconds behind, extending his overall lead, while McLaren’s Lando Norris took third place. Mercedes’ pole-sitter, George Russell, retired due to a suspected water system issue.
An emotional Hamilton spoke with his race engineer, Pete Bonnington, on the team radio as he began his victory lap. “This means a lot to us all,” said Bonnington. “I love you, Bono,” replied Hamilton.
