Lewis Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone a record nine times – the most victories for a Formula 1 driver at a single circuit or grand prix.
The seven-time world champion has taken victory at Silverstone in 2008, each year from 2014 to 2017 and 2019 to 2021 and again in 2024.
This also means that Hamilton, as he heads into the 2025 race weekend in Northamptonshire, holds the most wins at a driver’s national or home race.
Although he has a huge following across the world, Silverstone is Hamilton’s home race and one where he has excelled and set records over the years.
His debut Silverstone win was not straightforward as Hamilton had to battle with heavy rain conditions in a race that several drivers failed to finish.
Hamilton’s most recent victory at Silverstone came last year, when he made an emotional return to the top of the podium after two and a half years without a win anywhere.
“I’ve had so many amazing times [at Silverstone] in the past, but when I came across that line something really released in me that I guess I’ve been holding on to for a very long time,” Hamilton said after his 2024 British Grand Prix win.
“It was the most emotional end to a win I’ve ever experienced, I never cry, but it hit me hard, after such a difficult 2021, just trying to continue to come back.”
