Lewis Hamilton breaks silence after breaking Michael Schumacher's win record at the Portuguese Grand Prix


Lewis Hamilton passed Valtteri Bottas to take a powerful victory in the Portuguese Grand Prix. The British driver broke Formula 1's all-time win record. Hamilton dropped to third in a manic first two laps that ended with McLaren's Carlos Sainz leading but fought back to crush Bottas' hopes. Hamilton received a standing ovation from the socially distanced crowd. The Briton said he "owed it all" to his Mercedes team, adding: "I could only ever have dreamed of being where I am today. I didn't have a magic ball when I chose to come to this team and partner with these great people, but here I am. "Everything we do together - we are all rowing in the same direction and that's why we're doing what we're doing. And my dad's here and my step mum Linda, and Roscoe [Hamilton's dog]. It is going to take some time for it to fully sink in. I was still pushing flat out as I came across the line. I can't find the words at the moment."
