Lewis Hamilton's former physiotherapist and confidant Angela Cullen has paid tribute to the Mercedes star's record-breaking British Grand Prix win.

Cullen now works with Marcus Armstrong in IndyCar, but took to social media to praise Hamilton, who battled fierce competition and wet weather to extend his record tally of British Grand Prix victories to nine.

On top of that, Hamilton's race win around Silverstone on Sunday was historic for another reason: 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 was tied for the record with Michael Schumacher, with the British driver having had eight wins at Silverstone and the Hungaroring, whilst the German icon scored eight wins at Magny-Cours.
