F1 driver standings after British GP as Lando Norris closes gap to Oscar Piastri
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.
Here’s how the standings look after the British GP.
