SILVERSTONE, U.K -- Lewis Hamilton said his record sixth British Grand Prix victory will live long in the memory.
Hamilton continued his impressive run at the Silverstone circuit on Sunday after beating teammate Valtteri Bottas, in a drive helped by a fortunately timed Safety Car period. The Englishman said the frenzied home support made for a special experience.
"Today was one of the best days I can remember having," Hamilton said. "I remember my first win here in 2008 and the feeling I had coming out of Brooklands and going down what was at the time the start/finish straight and seeing the crowd, it felt so reminiscent of that today, and just the excitement, happiness and joy I felt.
