Another chapter in a legendary career ✍️Sir Lewis Hamilton becomes Ferrari’s latest race winner in Formula 1, securing the 106th victory of his remarkable career 👏#FIA Lewis Hamilton ‘s success was built on strong race pace, an effective tyre strategy and flawless execution from Ferrari. He crossed the finish line comfortably ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell, with McLaren’s Lando Norris completing an all-British podium in third place. The result was particularly important in the championship battle. Antonelli, who arrived at the weekend on the back of five straight victories, suffered a late mechanical issue and retired with only a handful of laps remaining. The setback reduced his advantage over Hamilton to 41 points at the top of the standings. Thank You So Much! An emotional Hamilton paid tribute to Ferrari and his supporters immediately after the race. “You have helped me so much to achieve this dream, I cannot thank you enough," Hamilton said over team radio.

“To the fans, thank you for reminding me who I am. I couldn’t have done this without you." He later added: “Thank you so much for helping me achieve this dream. Thank you to everyone pushing so hard at home, thanks to my family, and to my fans who continue to remind me who I am. I couldn’t have done this without you." ‘Ferrari Were Mighty’ Russell, who started from pole position but was unable to match Hamilton’s pace in the closing stages, acknowledged Ferrari’s superiority. “Good to be back on the podium and have a clean race, but Ferrari were mighty today so we need to keep pushing," said Russell. “The last stints were difficult, but it’s good to be back here. The pace today was insane from Lewis, they are coming I think." Hamilton’s victory was the 106th of his Formula One career and a landmark moment in Ferrari’s resurgence this season.
