Hamilton BOOSTED by historic result in shock Verstappen defeat
Lewis Hamilton’s historic victory at Silverstone has been voted as the best race of the 2024 Formula 1 season, beating Max Verstappen’s exceptional performance in Brazil, according to a poll conducted by GPFans.
Throughout the season, Verstappen, the reigning world champion, faced significant challenges.
A mid-season slump saw the Dutchman endure a 10-race winless streak, allowing six different drivers to claim victory during this period.
These competitive and unpredictable races provided thrilling entertainment for fans worldwide.
Despite Verstappen’s brilliant comeback with a dominant performance at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he reminded everyone of his immense talent, it was Hamilton’s triumph at the British Grand Prix that captured the hearts of fans.
The British GP received 59 percent of the vote, compared to 36 percent for Verstappen’s Brazil drive, solidifying Hamilton’s Silverstone victory as the standout race of the year.
Hamilton’s win at his home race was particularly special, as it marked the end of his long winless streak and served as his final British GP appearance with Mercedes.
The victory was a fitting farewell for the 39-year-old driver, who celebrated the achievement in front of a passionate home crowd.
Other notable races, such as Charles Leclerc’s victory at the Italian Grand Prix in front of Ferrari’s Tifosi, garnered only three percent of the vote.
Looking ahead, Hamilton will join Ferrari for the 2025 season, teaming up with Leclerc as he aims for an elusive eighth world championship title.
While Verstappen’s dominance and resilience impressed fans, it was Hamilton’s emotional and iconic Silverstone victory that stood out as the highlight of an action-packed 2024 season.
