What happened: Lewis Hamilton has told the Silverstone crowd he "won't stop until we get there" as he pursues a record eighth Formula 1 world championship ahead of the British Grand Prix. The seven-time champion framed his home race as another step in that quest.

Why it matters: An eighth title would move Hamilton clear of Michael Schumacher and stand alone as the most in Formula 1 history. Silverstone is his home race, and a strong showing there would build momentum through the 2026 campaign, where the Silverstone circuit has long been a Hamilton stronghold.

What to watch: Watch whether Hamilton can turn the home crowd behind him into a podium at Silverstone this weekend.
