Lando Norris claimed his first British Grand Prix victory at a rain-soaked Silverstone, leading a McLaren one-two ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris took the chequered flag 6.8 seconds clear after Piastri served a 10-second penalty for erratic braking behind the safety car on lap 22. Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg finished third, securing his maiden podium at the 239th attempt. The result lifts Norris to eight career wins and trims his deficit to Piastri in the drivers’ standings to eight points at the season’s halfway mark. Piastri, who labelled the sanction “very harsh,” asked the team to switch the cars late in the race but was overruled. Team principal Andrea Stella said the Australian’s request reflected McLaren’s policy of open communication, adding that the final order was “fair for both” drivers and predicting the episode would spur Piastri in upcoming rounds. Formula 1 resumes with the Belgian Grand Prix on 27 July.
