Lewis Hamilton discussed the joys of racing at Silverstone as he cruised down the River Thames in a luxury yacht.

The stunt celebrated IWC Schaffhausen’s 10-year partnership with Mercedes F1, the team that Hamilton competes for.

He was joined by radio presenter Roman Kemp on the yacht, speeding past iconic British monuments including the London Eye, Tate Modern and Houses of Parliament.

“I feel a lot of love there, it’s absolutely unbelievable every year we go,” Hamilton said of racing at Silverstone.
