Preview
All eyes are usually on Hamilton before a race, but the reigning world champion could write a new chapter in history at his home event.
He can become the most successful driver ever at the British Grand Prix with a first-place finish. It would mark his 80th race win, and Hamilton will likely move his attention to Michael Schumacher's record of 91 grand prix victories.
Hamilton is always motivated to accumulate more accolades, and he will love the opportunity to prove himself before the huge crowd at Silverstone.
However, the champion could only finish fifth in the last race in Austria, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen climbing to the top of the podium ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
The sport's young bucks will be in contention again on Sunday, and Hamilton will need to be at his best to stay ahead.
Hamilton spoke after practice on Friday about the challenges posed by the famous track, per Formula One's official website: "The asphalt is very smooth which makes it tricky to get the tyres to work, they're in and out of the window, and the gusty winds didn't make it easy. I was struggling with the rear end and went off a few times."
Sebastian Vettel won last year's race, but the German has failed to perform with consistency this term. The Ferrari driver is fourth in the world standings, and he holds only 18 points more than his 21-year-old team-mate.
Leclerc has been on the podium four times in his first season with the Prancing Horse, and despite the Italian car producing impressive straight-line speed, Ferrari have been unable to win races this season.
Bottas could be Hamilton's biggest rival on race day, and Mercedes will know the Finnish driver has world championship aspirations of his own.
However, the Silver Arrows will want to see their primary driver grab the headlines as he adds yet another record to his name.
