Lewis Hamilton Wins At Silverstone

There have been so many wins to celebrate dating back to his first in Canada in 2007, but this was his first anywhere since the penultimate race of the 2021 season in Saudi Arabia. That’s more than 50 races ago. That year he lost his F1 crown to Max Verstappen, who will be hard to stop getting a fourth straight F1 title. But Sunday belonged to the 39-year-old Hamilton in his last British GP with Mercedes, before joining Ferrari next year.
