About this photograph.

The F1 Driver.

This is Lewis Hamilton, from Britain during the pre-race driver’s parade, sitting on the back of an MG, an iconic 1960s British car. The two others in the front are likely to be his father in the driving seat, and his brother in the passenger seat.

Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton MBE was born on 7th January 1985 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. His father is of Grenadian descent, while his mother is of British descent.

He started karting in 1993, until 2007 when he started his first Formula 1 race, driving for McLaren, and winning his first World Championship in 2008.

He joined Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 in 2013, and won his second Championship in the following year. As of 2022, he is still with Mercedes AMG.

He is currently one of the two Formula 1 drivers with record 7 times World Championship titles, along with Germany’s Michael Schumacher. However as of at end of the 2021 season, he had a record 103 wins.

The MG Car.

In the early 1910s, William Morris started his car manufacturing company, later renamed as Morris Motors in 1919. He had his own car dealerships, simply called Morris Garages.

The MG cars started their roots from a 1920s sales promotion of Morris Garages, created by Cecil Kimber, the company’s manager. Kimber simply modified some Morris cars and branded them as Morris Garage Cars (often simply branded as MG), but by around late 1920s - early 1930s, the brand became good enough to become a separate identify as MG Cars.

I am not totally sure of which model this car is, I think by the look of it, it could be the MGC model, built between 1962-1980. The MGC were the successor to the earlier MGA models.

About the event.

The 2019 British Grand Prix, formally known as the Formula 1 Rolex British Grand Prix 2019, was Round 10 of 21 races in the 2019 Formula One World Championship calendar, during the weekend of Friday 12th to Sunday 14th July at the Silverstone Circuit.

On the day of the race, Valtteri Bottas had the Pole Position.

Starting gird was as follows: Bottas, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen, Gasly, Vettel, Ricciardo, Norris, Albon, Hulkenberg, Giovinazzi, Raikkonen, Sainz Jr, Grosjean, Perez, Magnussen, Kvyat, Stroll, Russell, and at the back end, Kubica.

Simple race summary: On Lap 1, the two Haas drivers collided and pitted, but would later retire due to damages (See my photo www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49955865996/ which will show Magnussen with a flat rear left tyre).

On Lap 14, Leclerc and Verstappen pitted at the same time, and after pitting for new tyres, had ended up driving side-by-side through the pit lane. By Lap 19, Giovinazzi suffered a mechanical failure and spun into the gravel, which would bring out the Safety Car (see my photo www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/49877436363/ ).

From Lap 24, the Safety Car pulled in, and race was green flagged for normal racing. A collision between Perez and Hulkenberg had resulted in damages to Perez’s car, and after pit stop, would end up being the last car in the race.

Verstappen had overtaken Vettel, but in the attempt to retake 3rd place, Vettel had locked up his brakes and collided with the back of Verstappen’s Red Bull, but both were able to escape and continue the race, however Vettel would be handed a 10-second penalty for causing a collision.

Hamilton won the race for a record 6th time, and claiming the extra point for fastest lap.

Finishing order at end of race: Hamilton, Bottas, Leclerc, Gasly, Verstappen, Sainz Jr, Ricciardo, Raikkonen, Kvyat, Hulkenberg, Norris, Albon, Stroll, Russell, Kubica, Vettel, Perez, and the following cars retired: Giovinazzi (Lap 18), Grosjean (Lap 9), and Magnussen (Lap 6).
