Two-time champion Max Verstappen won the British Grand Prix for the first time today, held at the Silverstone racetrack, and achieved his eighth victory in ten races held in the year for the Formula 1 World Championship.
The Dutchman prevailed ahead of the British Lando Norris, from McLaren, and Lewis Hamilton, from Mercedes.
While Australian rookie Oscar Piastri completed a sensational day for McLaren by finishing fourth and thus signing his best result in his still short F1 career.
The other Mercedes, the Englishman George Russell, finished fifth; ahead of ‘Checo’, who once again starred in the day’s comeback -after having started fifteenth- and the Asturian double world champion, who remains third, now with 137 points, in a World Cup headed by Verstappen with 255 units, 99 more than his Mexican partner.
The next Grand Prix, that of Hungary, will be held at the Hungaroring, the circuit on the outskirts of Budapest, on July 23
