The race car driver celebrated by spraying a bottle of Ferrari Trento; the official toasting bottle of Formula 1®.
The 2024 British Grand Prix took place on July 7 with Lewis Hamilton claiming a record ninth victory. The driver was understandably overjoyed to take the prestigious title on home soil, while fellow Brit Lando Norris came in third.
Around 164,000 spectators gathered at Silverstone to observe the race, with a buzzing atmosphere making it a memorable day for all.
"I am still crying," Hamilton said, post-race. "There is no greater feeling than to finish at the front here. It is so tough for everyone. But the important thing is how you continue to get up and dig deep even when you feel like you're at the bottom of the barrel...There have definitely been days since 2021 where I didn't feel I was good enough or I would get back to where I am today but I have had great people around me and supporting me."
This is Hamilton's first win in 945 days, marking the end of a lengthy dry streak. The drought was broken in more ways than one, with a bottle of Ferrari Trento sparkling wine dousing the podium.
