On top of that, Hamilton's race win around Silverstone was historic for another reason, too. As well as extending his British GP record, Hamilton now also leads the way for the most victories at a single circuit in F1.

Previously, Hamilton tied the record with Michael Schumacher, with the British driver having had eight wins at Silverstone and the Hungaroring, whilst the German icon had eight wins at Magny-Cours.

Cullen previously worked alongside Hamilton in Formula 1 as his trainer and close confidante, but the pair split in 2023.

Despite that, they have maintained a close friendship ever since, with Cullen now working alongside IndyCar driver Marcus Armstrong.

Cullen was clearly paying close attention to events in Britain on Sunday afternoon, however, posting a heartfelt tribute to Hamilton after his historic achievement.
