Lando Norris won his home British Grand Prix for the first time after team-mate and title leader Oscar Piastri collected a 10-second penalty for a controversial Safety Car incident with Max Verstappen in a thrilling rain-hit race.
Winning back-to-back races in the same season for the first time after beating Piastri in Austria last week, Norris has cut the Australian’s tittle lead to just eight points at the halfway stage of the 24-race Formula 1 season.
“This is a dream winning at home,” said an emotional Norris on McLaren team radio on his slow-down lap.
“Thanks for the memory. I will remember this more than anything.”
Nico Hulkenberg, meanwhile, finally ended his career-long podium wait as, at the 239th time of asking, the Sauber driver drove a stunning, extraordinary race from 19th on the grid to beat Silverstone specialist Lewis Hamilton to third.
Finishing fourth for the second week running, Hamilton’s wait for a first Grand Prix podium at Ferrari therefore continues, with the Briton’s run of consecutive Silverstone top-three finishes ending at 12.
Take a look at why Oscar Piastri was handed a 10-second penalty at the British Grand Prix.
Verstappen spun in the wet soon after the Piastri incident but fought his way back to fifth, ahead of Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll.
Alex Albon was eighth for Williams and Fernando Alonso ninth in the second Aston Martin, while George Russell took the final point in 10th after a wild race in which two gambles on early switches to slick tyres failed to pay dividends.
The race’s controversial moment came under the Safety Car on lap 21 when Piastri, having overtaken early race leader Verstappen on lap eight, in the eyes of the stewards slowed down too much in Verstappen down the Hangar Straight in preparation for a restart.
