F1 British Grand Prix race result as Lewis Hamilton wins at Silverstone ahead of Verstappen and Norris | Sporting News (2024)

Lewis Hamilton cruised to victory at the British Grand Prix with an outstanding performance in his Mercedes, navigating the challenging conditions of wind, rain, and sunshine at Silverstone.

Hamilton's race win, which came 945 days since his last win, extends his record to 104 race victories. He also became the first driver to win in F1 after starting 300 Grand Prix, and now has the most wins for any driver in a single race with nine now at Silverstone.

Meanwhile, his teammate George Russell faced a setback and was forced to retire his car, cutting his race short.

Max Verstappen showcased another fine drive despite suffering for pace at times and still managed to finish second.

He said: "We just didn’t have the pace today, it didn’t look great and I was thinking fifth, sixth.

"We made the right calls, every time. To be on the hard instead of the soft helped me out, that’s why we finished second. It could have been worse, we’re happy with the podium," he added.

"I didn’t want to take too many risks, tried to hang in there and it was tricky. When the sun came out it dried quickly but at one point you have to gamble on the slick, it worked out well."

Lando Norris also put in another solid performance and a podium finish, keeping him well in the hunt for a first championship.

Norris congratulated Lewis and went on to describe his drive: "A few too many let downs today and as a team we didn’t do good enough. But still good to be on the podium.

"I’m not making the right decisions, I blame myself today. I’m still going to enjoy it, so many positives."
