Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix on July 7, marking his first win since 2021.
The world champion, who is on the Mercedes team, was emotional during his post-race interview. “This is my last race here with this team. I wanted to win this so much for them, because I love and appreciate them so much,” he told host and ex-driver David Coulthard.
This is Hamilton’s ninth win at the British Grand Prix, which takes place on the Silverstone circuit.
He breaks Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher’s world record for the most wins at a single Grand Prix.
