Motorsport: Norris wins the British GP in front of his home crowd for the first time

# Motorsport: McLaren’s Lando Norris won a rain-affected British Grand Prix, his first victory on home soil. His teammate, Oscar Piastri, who received a ten-second penalty for a safety car controversy, finished second. Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg finished third from 19th on the grid for his maiden Formula One podium at the 239th attempt. Lewis Hamilton had to settle for fourth in his first race at Silverstone as a Ferrari driver, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in fifth. Norris has now reduced Piastri’s drivers’ championship lead to eight points.
