He has been able to script this magical race in a memorable manner. It was a day when he did not have the fastest car. He was simply one of the finest drivers on the racing circuit. He kept himself at the front in the race during the last laps. He also managed to keep his soft tires intact during the last few laps. As a result, he was able to win the race.

It was the place where he got the highest support. It is the place where he has previously won eight times. However, this win was special because it came after almost three years.

It was in Turkey in 2020 when he managed to equal the record for the most number of wins in the sport. At that time also, it was a special moment for him. Similarly, this win has been special for him.

After the race, even team principal Toto Wolff said that it was special for the entire team. He further added that it was great to assist Lewis in winning his home race. It was the last appearance of Lewis at his home circuit for Mercedes.

On the other hand, his teammate was not able to secure any position. Mercedes had to retire George’s car due to some technical issues. It also helped them in avoiding penalties later on in the season. In second place, it was Max, who managed to get ahead of Lando Norris. With this win, Max has been able to increase his lead over Lando despite not winning the race.
