Last weekend, Mercedes celebrated their first victory of the F1 2024 season with not Hamilton (he finished fourth), but the 26-year-old George Russell winning the Austrian Grand Prix. This weekend, it should be Lewis for the win for it is where he ruled for a decade. He is known as the king of Silverstone in his fandom.
Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most wins by any Formula 1 driver in history, with eight victories at the British Grand Prix. Last time, the Red Bull Star Max Verstappen won the race. Back in 2022, the Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz won at Silverstone claiming his first Grand Prix win and before that it was the seven-time world champion who won back-to-back in 2021, 2020, 2019 in front of home crowd.
Speaking of this season, after two winless years there is hope for the Mercedes superstar. He secured his first podium of the year in Spain two weeks ago. And, a new chassis, and new gearbox casing of the W15 seems to give tough competition to the rivals Red Bull, Ferrari, and McLaren.
