Lewis Hamilton on 'interesting' first 10 races at Ferrari

Lando Norris took advantage of Oscar Piastri’s penalty to win the British Grand Prix for the first time in his career.

During a wild, wet and chaotic race at Silverstone, Piastri was dealt a 10-second sanction by the stewards after he slammed on his brakes at 130mph ahead of a safety car restart.

Max Verstappen was forced to take evasive action with the stewards coming down hard on the Australian. It cost Piastri the win, with Norris crossing the line 6.8 seconds clear of his championship team-mate and McLaren rival.

Norris’ fourth victory of the season allows him to reduce the championship deficit from 15 points to eight with his second win in as many weekends – while Nico Hulkenberg landed his first podium in Formula One after 239 starts. Lewis Hamilton had to settle for fourth.

Piastri responds to Russell-Canada penalty comparisons

At the Canadian GP, George Russell braked under the safety car and did not receive a penalty. Red Bull claimed the move was an attempt to make Max Verstappen pass under the safety car.

After Oscar Piastri braked under the safety car on Sunday at the British Grand Prix, he was slapped with a 10-second time penalty.

When asked in the post-race press conference about comparisons to Russell, Piastri said “I don't know how different it was. I can only comment on what I felt I did, which I felt was well within the rules, and I did it once already in that race. So, yeah. I don't really get it. I'll go have a look back.”

Lando Norris capitalises on baffling Oscar Piastri error to take home victory in chaotic British GP

From here on in, Lando Norris will want his own personal grandstand at every race. The 25-year-old, arguably the sport’s most popular driver among the Netflix generation of F1 fans, had expectations sky-high this weekend at Silverstone, racing for the quickest team in a championship-contending season.

And for the 10,000 decked in bright yellow in the ‘LandoStand’ at Stowe corner, who bought tickets in the space of an hour last autumn, they were rewarded for their enthusiasm and endeavour amid grey skies around them with a dramatic win for their man on Sunday.

Norris took the chequered flag by five seconds, becoming the 13th British driver to win his home grand prix, while Oscar Piastri was left to rue a costly mid-race error behind the safety car. For the Australian, usually a modicum of composure, the customary post-race interview hit saw how vigorously his blood was boiling. “I’ll get myself in trouble,” he said.
