Hamilton led thousands of motorsport fans in paying tribute to Niki Lauda as he clinched his nail-biting victory.
After crossing the line ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, the star took off his helmet and pointed at the Austrian icon’s name which had been emblazoned on it.
The Mercedes driver said: ‘I was fighting with the spirit of Niki. I was just trying to stay focused and make him proud.’
And although fading tyres caused the British F1 competitor some stressful moments on the track, he said of Lauda: ‘I definitely felt he was with me today.’
Droves of spectators flocked to the historic street circuit to pay their respects to the three-time world champion.
