F1 British Grand Prix Results: Hamilton beats Verstappen in HISTORIC Silverstone race

Lewis Hamilton’s long wait for another Formula 1 victory is at an end after the Mercedes star won the British Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon.

Hamilton had started the race at Silverstone in P2 but overcame fierce competition and tricky weather conditions to ensure he was on top come the chequered flag.

It is Hamilton’s first win since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in 2021 and a record-ninth British Grand Prix victory for the Mercedes superstar.

Hamilton overcame fellow Brit Lando Norris who eventually came home in P3 having led the order earlier in the race, whilst reigning world champion Max Verstappen finished on the podium once again, this time in P2.

Having started in pole position for Sunday’s race, it was heartbreak for Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate George Russell who was forced to retire the car and therefore registered a DNF.
