Hamilton Wins British Grand Prix To End Three-Year Drought
Lewis Hamilton emerged victorious at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, defeating Max Verstappen and marking his first win since Saudi Arabia in 2021. This victory breaks Hamilton’s tie with Michael Schumacher for the most wins at one track, with a total of nine wins at Silverstone. Lando Norris of McLaren came in third.
Hamilton and Bottas, both of Mercedes, started the race in the front row, with Hamilton on pole position and Bottas close behind. Hamilton seemed unbeatable on his home track, leading the race, and Bottas appeared to be headed for a respectable second-place finish.
However, with only three laps remaining, Bottas’ front-left tire delaminated, forcing him to slow down and pit, and he finished eleventh. Hamilton suffered an identical puncture on the final lap of the race, putting his considerable lead in jeopardy.
Despite his rapidly disintegrating tire, Hamilton managed to keep his Mercedes on the track and cross the finish line a mere 5.8 seconds ahead of Verstappen, securing a remarkable victory that further solidified his iconic status in the
sport.
The 2020 B r i t i s h Grand Prix will be remembered for its dramatic conclusion , which featured late unpredictability, a test of driver skill, and, above all, perseverance on the part of Hamilton. The victory added another legendary chapter to Hamilton’s illustrious career, showcasing his exceptional ability to overcome adversity and emerge victorious
In a move to strengthen regional stability and provide humanitarian support, Guyana’s National Assembly has approved $123 million (approximately $587,940 USD) for CARICOM nations, Diaspora Watch can report. This decision was made during the 89th Sitting of the National Assembly, where Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd, emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting its neighbors in need.
Diaspora Watch was told the funds will primarily support Haiti, which has been plagued by severe gang violence, resulting in over 2,500 people killed or wounded between January and March this year. Recall that the violence has led to a shortage of food, water, and other essential items, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Minister Todd highlighted Guyana’s history of providing support to its Caribbean neighbors, citing the recent example of Hurricane Beryl, which devastated several Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) in the region.
Guyana provided contributions in kind to affected OECS countries, demonstrating its commitment to regional solidarity. The approval of these funds comes on the heels of a recent meeting between Heads of Government of Caribbean nations in Guyana, where they discussed the pressing issues of crime and gang violence in the region. The meeting highlighted the need for collective action to address these challenges, which have resulted in a 154% increase in regional security budgets between 2019 and 2024. In July, Guyana provided its first shipment of relief aid to Grenada, comprising vital items such as generators, water purification tablets, and hygiene products. This donation demonstrates Guyana’s commitment to providing tangible support to its neighbors in need.
