The best of Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone as voted by you
Lewis Hamilton has made Silverstone his own personal fortress, stacking up nine massive wins at the circuit. With a potential 10th win looming on the horizon as a Ferrari driver, we looked back at the top three triumphs you voted as his greatest.
Taking third place is the 2020 British Grand Prix. In a race where a Mercedes 1-2 looked guaranteed, the sport reminded us how cruel it can be. When Valtteri Bottas suffered a delaminated left front tyre, the Mercedes pit wall had to be nervous, and their fears were justified when Hamilton suffered the exact same failure on the final lap. It was pure, desperate survival, but he managed to limp across the line on three wheels to take the win.
The second spot belongs to the 2021 British Grand Prix, a race that defined a bitter championship rivalry. After a terrifying collision at Copse that sent Max Verstappen out of the race and triggered red flags, Hamilton fought back from a 10-second penalty. He eventually hunted down the McLaren of Lando Norris, his own teammate Valtteri Bottas, and finally Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari to steal the lead with just two laps remaining.
Your number one pick? The 2024 British Grand Prix. After a painful 945-day wait, Hamilton finally returned to the top step of the podium. In a tricky wet-dry race, he navigated the conditions and perfect tyre management to hold off Max Verstappen by nearly one and a half seconds. It was a career-defining moment, and his radio message said it all: “It means a lot to get this one.”
