However, his furious McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri, who finished second, was convinced he had been unfairly denied by a controversial stewards' decision.

Norris, now in his sixth season in F1, took the victory after Piastri had been given a 10-second penalty while leading the race but the 25-year-old still delivered an assured drive in treacherous wet conditions to become the 12th British driver to win their home race since it was first held in 1950. It is the one race Norris wanted more than any other and he revelled in his success. "This victory is everything I dreamed of," he said. "Being on top at your home race is very, very special."

He admitted afterwards that as he sealed the final laps he was enjoying taking in his accomplishment and most importantly ensuring he did not let it slip away from him.

"Looking up at the fans and seeing them on their feet, your mind just goes pretty blank," he said. "I was just trying to enjoy the moment.
