FORMULA ONE
Lando Norris boosted his world title bid last Sunday (July 6) when he drove to a commanding rain-splashed victory ahead of McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in a chaotic British Grand Prix.
The 25-year-old Briton made the most of series leader Piastri’s mid-race misfortune, when he was given a 10-second penalty for slowing excessively while leading behind the safety car, to finish 6.8112 seconds clear.
It was his first home win, his fourth win of the year and the eighth of his career, lifting him within eight points of the Australian. Norris also became the 13th different home winner of the British race.
"Thank you, McLaren, thanks everyone," said Norris. "This is beautiful. Winning at home. This is a dream."
