Lando Norris wins home British Grand Prix as Oscar Piastri pays the penalty
Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg took third for the veteran German's first-ever podium in 239 races.

Briton Norris returned to a rapturous reception from his home fans as he moved to within eight points of Piastri in the drivers' standings.
Piastri, who finished less than seven seconds behind Norris, threw away the win after the Australian was hit with a 10-second penalty for a safety car infringement.
As last week's heatwave gave way to a more typical British summer's day — spells of blue sky mixed with torrential showers — drivers had to keep their wits about them with puddles forming on the track.
And Norris emerged from the chaos all smiles as he added to his wins already this season in Austria, Monaco and Australia.
Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton came in fourth ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.

Tony Ward: Insipid performance a step backwards for Lions but Test team is starting to take shape
Describing the Lions tour to date as two steps forward, one step back may be overstating it, but Saturday's performance in Sydney certainly diverged from what was shown in Perth and Brisbane. Building cohesion in any representative team is a challenge irrespective of the playing talent at the coaching group's disposal. It is particularly frustrating because the best of the British and Irish should be on a different level to whatever the host nation can offer, especially provincial opposition short on Test players.
