Hamilton's still a Brit special as fans back hero

TRACK LEGEND: Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone

- By Andy Dunn

AS usual, the Silverstone paddock was jammed with everyone from A-listers to Z-listers.

And in terms of bringing stardust to the motorhomes, Keanu Reeves was in pole position.

Reeves is fronting a documentary charting Cadillac’s 2026 entry into the sport — but is best known to many for having the lead role in the action movie Speed.

Which is what Lewis Hamilton has generally been short of since joining Ferrari for the 2025 season.

But while Reeves is Hollywood box office, Hamilton remains the number one draw at the home of British motor racing.

Even in Ferrari red, Hamilton is the darling of the crowd. Even with Lando Norris challenging for the world title, Hamilton is the spectators’ favourite.
