This year’s British Grand Prix already had a place in history as the 75th anniversary of Silverstone hosting the first Formula One race in 1950. Now it will be remembered as a milestone and career high for Lando Norris, a maiden win at his home race and the victory he has long coveted.
The British GP has thrown up swathes of superlative races in those 75 seasons and this year’s earned its place among them. Under gunmetal grey skies and lowering clouds an afternoon of incident and drama unfolded, of fortune and fury, and for one driver a moment of finally discharging a particularly unwanted monkey, as the old airfield once more proved a grand stage.
