Lewis Hamilton is happy to see fans return to the British Grand Prix, but urges them to be careful, because the COVID-19 crisis is not over yet.
“Ever since the first time I came and raced here in 2006, but particularly in Formula 1, 2007, the roar of the crowd here is unlike anywhere else,” the Briton said at the British Grand Prix Thursday press conference.
“Considering we’ve had a drought in terms of fans not being at the races in the past year, the energy has definitely been very much missed.
“You arrive with this kind of excitement but also this kind of nervousness because you want to deliver for everyone, and we want everyone to have the best weekend.”

However, he warns the COVID-10 crisis is still not over, and urges fans to be careful.
“I have the same feelings since the last time we spoke. Of course I’m excited to see people. We just saw Wimbledon, I saw images of so many people together but we do know the COVID rate has shot up in the UK.
“So I would just continue to say just everyone please wear your mask and try to enjoy your weekend. We’re still in this pandemic so I think we just got to continuously remind people to take care, we want people to come and have a great weekend.
“It’s amazing that we’re going to see people, but we want them to leave and go home and get on with their weekend and be healthy,” concluded the Briton.
