Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Lewis Hamilton beat Dutch Max Verstappen at the British Grand Prix, Round 12 of the 2024 Formula One World Championship, on Sunday to achieve his first F1 win after 945 days.<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t stop crying! It\u2019s been since 2021, every day getting up, trying to fight, to train, to put my mind to the task and work as hard as I can with this amazing team,” said Hamilton after his victory.<\/p>\n

“This is my last race here at the British Grand Prix with this team [before moving to Ferrari], so I wanted to win this so much for them, because I love them, I appreciate them so much, all the hard work they\u2019ve been putting in all over these years.”<\/p>\n
