First home GP win a 'dream' for Norris

LANDO Norris said his first British Grand Prix victory was “everything I dreamed of” after cashing in on title rival Oscar Piastri’s 10-second penalty to win at Silverstone.

The McLaren pair survived a chaotic rain-hit race to claim another one-two but Piastri was denied victory after being punished for braking heavily just prior to the second safety-car restart.

Max Verstappen behind was forced to take evasive action and move in front of the race leader and the stewards adjudged that Piastri had excessively slammed on the brakes.

Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg, 37, drove superbly in the damp conditions and capitalised on the chaos around him to jump up from 19th on the grid and claim a first career podium on his 239th start in Fl, to spark jubilant celebrations from his team. Lewis Hamilton had to settle for fourth.
