It looks like Cruise is rooting for Hamilton and Co today. Martin Brundle, in his famous grid walk, bumped into the legendary actor and questioned his support today. Well, he certainly didn’t hesitate as he said, “Lewis always. Definitely Lewis. He’s a great friend of mine. I hope he has a great day.”
The seven-time world champion has the backing of Tom Cruise and popular UK singer Stormzy as well. Mercedes certainly has an enormous backing within the Silverstone crowd.
“This is the UK, this is going to be the best one. I’m cheering 100% for Lewis and for George as well this time. I think today will be a good result for them. They know the track like the back of their hands. I’m rooting for the boys man,” revealed Stormzy.
DIVE DEEPER
Russell starts P8, while the wildly cheered Hamilton starts P5. He has the record for the most victories here in Silverstone and will look to hope to finish on the podium this time around. Meanwhile, the fans were ecstatic to see the American support Hamilton.
