Damson Idris lauds Lewis Hamilton's impact as F1 legend clinches victory at British Grand Prix

Damson Idris celebrates Hamilton's "seismic impact on the sport" following a dramatic victory at Silverstone.

Lewis Hamilton ended a prolonged victory drought by securing a historic win at the 2024 British Grand Prix, much to the delight of fans and celebrities alike, including actor Damson Idris. 

The seven-time Formula 1 champion, who had not tasted victory in nearly 1000 days, showcased his undiminished skill by achieving his ninth win at this iconic event.

Hamilton's performance at Silverstone was not just a personal victory but also a significant morale booster for Mercedes, potentially marking a turning point in their season. 

Starting the race behind his teammate George Russell, Hamilton took full advantage of strategic maneuvers and his competitors' errors, propelling him to the forefront.

The weekend's festivities were heightened by the presence of Damson Idris, who stars in the new Formula 1 film executive produced by Hamilton's Apollo production company. 

The film, titled "F1," features Idris and Brad Pitt in pivotal roles. 

During his time with IWC Schaffhausen, the official watch partner of the movie, Idris expressed admiration for Hamilton, highlighting "his seismic impact on the sport." 

His words resonated deeply, especially as fans witnessed Hamilton's spectacular comeback.

While Mercedes still trails Red Bull by 158 points with only 12 races left in the season, the resurgence of Hamilton’s form suggests that the title race could yet intensify. 

As history has shown, one should never underestimate Lewis Hamilton, especially on his home turf, where he continues to demonstrate that he remains a formidable force in the world of Formula 1.
