SILVERSTONE, England (AP) 鈥� Lando Norris survived an incident-packed race in the rain to win British Grand Prix on Sunday and cut the gap to his teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri.
Norris won his home race for the first time after Piastri had to serve a 10-second penalty for sharp braking behind the safety car while in the lead.
鈥淭his is a dream, winning at home. It鈥檚 beautiful," Norris told the team over the radio. "Thanks for the memory. I鈥檒l remember this more than anything.鈥�
He climbed out of the car and celebrated with both arms raised to take in the moment.
Piastri was unhappy with his penalty, signaling he believed it was a legal move.
In a race with plenty of crashes and spins, Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg was third from 19th on the grid for his first podium finish in his 239th race of an F1 career that began in 2010. His team hadn't finished in the top three since 2012.
Defending champion Max Verstappen started on pole but ended up fifth after spinning from second at a safety-car restart, briefly dropping to 10th.
