Pent-up emotion spilled from the British driver as he recorded his first grand prix win in 945 days.
The sport’s dominant driver, Max Verstappen, came second, followed by McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Australian Oscar Piastri. Daniel Ricciardo failed to get any points, finishing 13th.It was the Brit’s 104th career win and record ninth British GP win.
Hamilton admitted questioning whether he would ever taste victory again after Verstappen denied him a record eighth world crown in the most contentious race in the sport’s history. Hamilton sobbed as the emotion poured out of him after he hugged his father Anthony for 20 seconds upon securing victory.“I have never cried from a win before, it just came out of me,” said Hamilton. “It is a great feeling, and I am grateful for it.”
“It kind of feels like it’s been a long time coming,” he added. “I’m extremely happy. More than anything, I’m just happy for Lewis. He’s the driver. He’s the one that feels the emotions. I’m very proud.”
