#1 The local hero Hamilton

Hamilton's winning moment at the British GP 2008

The four-time world champion Brit, Lewis Hamilton has been exceptional at Silverstone, having won four times consecutively from 2014.

Still, his first win at Silverstone back in 2008 is regarded as one of his best races till date. British Grand Prix always accepting showers, that year was heavy and wet.

After Coulthard in 2000, no Brit had won at Silverstone until this race when Hamilton made the crowd go berserk with his win.

Hamilton came into the race with lots of pressure having erred often in the previous races of that season.

Adding to the pressure was the wet conditions. Championship title contender Felippe Massa was almost like ice skating having spun five times during the course of the race.

In such challenging circuit, Hamilton rose to the occasion went past his teammate and polesitter Kovalainen, and went on to win the race in 60th lap 68 seconds ahead of Heidfeld who finished second.
