The former rival from Germany bows to Lewis Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel congratulates him via Instagram. He is not alone.
His former German title rival Sebastian Vettel also congratulated Lewis Hamilton after his historic victory at his Formula 1 home race in Silverstone. “Goat,” Vettel wrote on Instagram Story alongside a photo that showed the British record world champion cheering with the Union Jack – GOAT is the English abbreviation for “Greatest of All Time.”
Hamilton won the British Grand Prix after an impressive performance. It was his ninth victory at Silverstone. No other driver in the premier class of motorsport has achieved as many on one and the same track.
Hamilton: One of my most important victories
Overall, it was his 104th Grand Prix victory. But the seven-time world champion from Mercedes had to wait 945 days for it. “Epic victory!!,” wrote Hamilton’s former personal trainer Angela Cullen on Instagram. The British newspaper “Daily Mail” crowned Hamilton the “King of Silverstone.”
“This was one of the most important victories ever for me,” said Hamilton himself. “I’ve had such great moments in my career, but in the last two and a half years I haven’t even been close to a win.”
His last success up to Silverstone was on December 5, 2021 in Saudi Arabia. The fact that it worked out in the last race for Mercedes in Silverstone made the big Hamilton party in front of 164,000 spectators perfect. From 2025, Hamilton will drive for Ferrari, where Vettel once tried in vain to become world champion after his four titles with Red Bull.
