Lewis Hamilton believes he has taken “a step forward” and is vowing to push himself to the limit for the “mind-blowing” Silverstone crowd.
The seven-times world champion has been struggling all season but had his best Friday performance of 2022 at his home Grand Prix. After the first practice session was ruined by showers, Hamilton was second-fastest in the second session as upgrades on his Mercedes appeared to be working.
His performance delighted the huge home support and Hamilton sounded unusually confident of giving them something to cheer about in qualifying and on race day.
