Lando Norris: Wins British Grand Prix
Norris has won in front of his home crowd at the British Grand Prix, the McLaren man leading from team mate Oscar Piastri while Kick Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg claimed a long-awaited podium in third, Formula1.com reports.
Analysis:
Wet conditions at the start would make for a lively grand prix on Sunday at Silverstone. Early race spins and rain returning at lap 11 would make this a strategy nightmare. However, Norris would manage the race well and get around a spinning Max Verstappen during a lap 20 restart. Oscar Piastri would lose the lead due to a 10-second penalty and that would promote Norris into the top spot on lap 44. He would manage the gap back to Piastri the rest of the way and master the challenging conditions to pick up the win. It was Norris' fourth victory of the season an first win at Silverstone.
