FACTS AND STATS: Hamilton sets new podium record, as Sainz becomes Spain’s second F1 winner

It was a case of lucky 13 for Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone, as he established a new one-track podium marker. And as one Spaniard won his first race, another set a new record for the most GP mileage completed. Here’s those and a few more fascinating figures from the 2022 British Grand Prix…

• For a second consecutive race, a driver starting his 150th Grand Prix took victory from pole position (Max Verstappen did it last time out in Canada)

• Sainz is the first Spanish race winner other than Fernando Alonso, who accumulated 32 wins between 2003 and 2013.

• Sainz’s 150 races before his first win is the second-longest wait in F1 history – Sergio Perez won on his 190th start, in Bahrain in 2020.
