Lando Norris won a treacherous rain-hit British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday from his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg took third for the veteran German’s first ever podium in 239 races.
Briton Norris (226 points) returned to a rapturous reception from his home fans as he moved to within eight points of Piastri (234 points) in the drivers’ standings.
Piastri, who finished less than seven seconds behind Norris, threw away the win after the Australian was hit with a 10-second penalty for a safety car infringement.
As last week’s heatwave gave way to a more typical British summer’s day, drivers had to keep their wits about them with puddles forming on the track. But Norris emerged from the chaos all smiles as he added to his wins this season in Austria, Monaco and Australia.
Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton came in fourth ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
