Helicopter Escape: Anya Taylor-Joy and Lewis Hamilton's Night After Silverstone Drama
HELICOPTER HEISTS: ANYA TAYLOR-JOY JOINS LEWIS HAMILTON'S POST-RACE PANIC IN LONDON
The drama continues for Lewis Hamilton, who fell short at the British Grand Prix on Sunday, but it's not just his F1 career that's got him worried. The seven-time world champion was spotted leaving Silverstone in a helicopter with none other than actress Anya Taylor-Joy, 29, and her husband Malcolm McRae.
The trio made their escape from the racing chaos in style, with Anya sporting a cheeky red Ferrari jacket and matching baseball cap over her platinum blonde locks. Malcolm, on the other hand, was still dressed to impress in his smart blazer and striped shirt - he must have been trying to salvage some dignity after his pal's disappointing result.
But Lewis didn't look like he'd won the lottery (or even a consolation prize) as he stepped out of the helicopter with a disheartened expression on his face. The Ferrari-branded hoodie and dark shades weren't exactly doing much for his mood either, especially considering it was well past bedtime.
And what about the drama that unfolded on the track? Well, let's just say it was a wet and wild ride. Lando Norris pulled off an impressive come-from-behind victory in his McLaren, landing his first-ever home podium and edging out Oscar Piastri (who finished second) by just eight points.
But Hamilton wasn't so lucky. He ran wide after his final pit stop and left himself with too much to do to catch Niko Hulkenberg for third place. It was a disappointing finish for the Ferrari driver, especially considering he's won the British Grand Prix an impressive nine times.
Meanwhile, Anya Taylor-Joy has proven herself to be a devoted F1 fan - not just a pretty face! The actress and her husband were spotted in the Ferrari garage with Rebecca Ferguson, who's also got a soft spot for motorsports. It seems like these Hollywood stars are getting their gearhead fix from Lewis himself!
But we shouldn't forget about Lando Norris' thrilling win. This young driver (25) has already made history as the 13th British driver to take home the gold Grand Prix Trophy, an honor shared by legends like Sir Stirling Moss and Jim Clark.
As for Anya and Malcolm, they must have been keeping a close eye on Lewis from their helicopter perch. Maybe they even gave him some encouraging words over the phone - after all, when it comes to supporting your friends, you do what you've got to do!
THE INSIDE SCOOP: BEHIND THE SCENES AT SILVERSTONE
We managed to get our hands on some behind-the-scenes gossip from Silverstone. Sources close to the racing circuit tell us that there was a bit of tension between Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri during qualifying - who knew these drivers had such a competitive streak?
But it's not all about the drama and the racing (although, let's be real, that's what we love most about F1). The British Grand Prix saw some impressive performances from the rookie drivers, including Isack Hadjar and Oliver Bearman. We can't wait to see what they've got in store for us next season!
THE VERDICT
In conclusion, it looks like Lewis Hamilton is still trying to get his head around that disappointing result at Silverstone. But hey, there's always next time - after all, as the saying goes: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Or in this case, when life gives you a dodgy pit stop and a rainy track, just enjoy the ride (and maybe grab a helicopter ride out of there with some friends)!
AND FINALLY...
If you're wondering what happened to George Russell during the British Grand Prix, don't worry - he's still got his Formula 1 helmet firmly on. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't quite enough to secure a top-10 finish in the wet conditions. Maybe next time, George!
