Then there was perhaps THE storyline: Oscar Piastri’s ten-second penalty for a Safety Car infringement, coming after the McLaren driver braked heavily near the end of a Safety Car period. Piastri was running up front and leading the field to the restart, but after serving the penalty he came out behind Norris, and had to settle for second.

All the reaction to a dramatic British Grand Prix at Silverstone, won for the first time by McLaren's Lando Norris.

Lando Norris won a chaotic British Grand Prix on Sunday, navigating a rain-hit race punctuated by several safety cars and taking advantage of his teammate Oscar Piastri incurring a 10-second penalty as one of those safety cars pulled off the track.
