A new record has been set at Silverstone following Lewis Hamilton's stunning victory at the iconic circuit last weekend.
Hamilton proved he is still considered one of the best drivers of all time, as the seven-time Formula 1 champion put on a peerless performance to claim his first victory since December 2021.
In torrid conditions, the Brit delighted his adoring home fans by keeping reigning world champion Max Verstappen at bay on a track which has delivered so many highlights over a stellar career.
By standing on top of the podium once again at the British GP, Hamilton broke several records, including most race wins at a single circuit (nine) and the number of seasons featuring a victory (16).
The 2024 edition of the grand prix also matched the record-breaking figure of 480,000 attendees over the whole weekend.
The news will be welcomed by Silverstone managing director, Stuart Pringle, who was in the spotlight last month after suggesting a slump in ticket sales was partly down to Verstappen's emergence as the sport's dominant force - at the expense of Hamilton.
