I agree and remember it well, I was sat opposite the podium on the pit straight under a roof made of umbrellas! We watched the race through the little gaps and raised them to cheer him on every lap he came past and quickly put them back down. We got soaked but it was worth it to be part of the atmosphere and the moment to say "I was there, first of many Silverstone wins".
It was a great experience. When the pitlane light goes green on Sunday, I still get the same goosebumps I got from the first Grand Prix I went to as they make their way to the grid.
@ConnorRoss thank you for the feedback. Please consider subscribing as I'll be going to the Dutch GP at the end of August and I intend to get some more footage.
@@BrianCash-sq4fs Thank you for the feedback. Have a look at getting to a European race if you can? I'm currently researching and saving up for a trip to Spain for the last GP to be held in Barcelona next year. You can combine a race with a long weekend holiday so it's win win!
Been to Silverstone 5 times now for the F1. (2019,2021,2022,2023 & 2024) Seen Lewis win 3 and get 2 podiums 🙏 The crowd we’re going crazy at Luffield. I think the loudest year was 2021 when Lewis got his time penalty for contact with Max, and had to claw back 1st place from the Ferrari. The last few laps when he was getting closer and closer before overtaking and winning was insane. The atmosphere was like a football stadium with the crowd shouting and stamping there feet every lap when the gap was coming down. Brilliant 💪😊
@@BL00MYB0Y that's great to hear! I've been fortunate to make this my 18th British GP on the bounce (if you ignore 2020 🙄). It's hard to pick my favourite of his 9 victories but 2008 was very special. Recently seeing Carlos Sainz take the honours a couple of years ago was great and was a very popular winner, certainly much more than max.
@@RichW3440 wow 18, that’s brilliant. I’ve been going with my dad to Silverstone, but I’m not sure he will be up for going to any more. He’ll be 73 later this year and is not capable of walking very far anymore 😥. I have been to Monza back in 2003 and Catalunya in 2004 and 2005 with some friends from my old work place. So glad I got to hear the screaming V engines 😍
@@BL00MYB0Y thank you, it's a personal record I hope to continue for as long as I can afford to do so. I've also been to Monza and Montreal and I hope to go to Barcelona before it goes to Madrid from '26. 🙂
@@tomspeight8538 small world! I must admit, walking in on race day I was hoping for a McLaren 1-2 but I was equally as happy with the results at the end.
It's kind of weird hearing the crowd cheer for hamilton without using airhorns like they did back in 2008

@@RichW3440 the last time someone used an airhorn at a modern f1 grand prix was at last year's hungarian grand prix
So magical when he crosses the line. You can hear the crowd go insane.
Been to Silverstone 3 times and seen Lewis win twice, in 2016 and 2021. But wish I went to this one

Exactly the same for me.

what a moment......
Can’t wait for MotoGP to finally get to the same atmosphere in the UK. Watch out, it is coming, the 2-wheeled equivalent to F1!
