Verstappen claims British GP for 6th straight win, Norris finishes 2nd
Max Verstappen continued his dominance this season by claiming the British GP on Sunday for the first time in his career.
It's also the first time the Red Bull driver has won six consecutive races and helped the constructor equal McLaren's record of 11 straight victories.
"11 wins in a row, I think that's pretty incredible," Verstappen said.

McLaren's Lando Norris, who passed Verstappen to start the race and held the lead briefly, claimed second to equal the best finish of his career. It also marked his first podium since April 2022 and seventh of his career.
"Pretty insane," Norris said. "Pretty amazing, pretty insane."
He added: "I brought the fight to Max for as long as possible."
Lewis Hamilton, who started seventh, was unable to get his Mercedes around Norris over the final 10 laps and finished third. It's his third podium finish in four races.
"This is a good positive for us as a team to know where not that far away," Hamilton said.
