Russell Reflects on Disappointing Retirement
Lewis Hamilton reached F1's top step for the first time since 2021, winning an amazing race at Silverstone. The British driver started from pole position and led from start to finish, despite a late safety car period that bunched up the field.
Hamilton's victory was his eighth at Silverstone, and it moved him to within six points of championship leader Max Verstappen. It was also a special day for British fans, as George Russell finished third for Mercedes and Lando Norris took fifth for McLaren.
However, there was disappointment for Russell's teammate, Sergio Perez, who retired from the race with a mechanical problem. Perez had started second on the grid, but he was forced to retire on lap 11.
Norris also had a difficult race. He started seventh on the grid, but he dropped down to 10th place on the opening lap. He then spent the rest of the race trying to fight his way back up the order, but he was unable to make up any ground.
In the end, Hamilton took the checkered flag ahead of Verstappen and Russell. Norris finished fifth, behind Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr.
The result leaves Hamilton six points behind Verstappen in the championship standings. The next race is the Austrian Grand Prix, which takes place on July 2nd.
Conclusion
Hamilton's victory at Silverstone was a special moment for British fans. It was his eighth win at the circuit, and it moved him to within six points of championship leader Max Verstappen. The win also gave Mercedes their first victory of the season.
