TOTO WOLFF made Lewis Hamilton a promise after George Russell's win in Austria nine days ago.
The Mercedes chief was adamant that the seven-time Fl champion would get the chance to finally win again before his long association with the team comes to an end.
He said: "This is not a situation that suddenly he's unlearned driving. We're going to win a race with him this year."
Even Wolff may not have expected to fulfil it just a week later in front of a rocking Silverstone crowd.
But Hamilton mastered the circuit he loves the most and had a car quick enough to secure a record ninth British Grand Prix success - his first win in 945 days.
