Lando Norris won a treacherous British Rain Grand Prize in Silverstone on Sunday McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri.
Nico Hulkenberg de Sauber took third for the first podium of the German veteran in 239 start of the race.
The British Norris returned to an enthusiastic reception of his local fans while moving to eight Piastri points in the classification of drivers.
“It’s beautiful, everything I dreamed, this is all I wanted to achieve, apart from winning the championship, this is as good as it seems,” Norris transmitted.
Piastri, who ended less than seven seconds behind Norris, threw the victory after the Australian was beaten with a penalty of 10 seconds by a security car infraction.
As the heat wave last week gave way to a more typical British summer day, sprawls of blue sky mixed with torrential showers, the drivers had to keep their ingenuity about them with puddles formed on the track.
Norris came out of chaos all smiles when he added to his victories already this season in Austria, Monaco and Australia.
Lewis Hamilton de Ferrari arrived fourth ahead of the Polesitter Max Verstappen for Red Bull.
Piastri fell badly from the butlers when I slowed long before the security car took off, a decision that left Pastri feeling stolen.
“I’m not going to say much, I don’t want to get into trouble,” he said in the interview after the race. “Apparently, you can no longer stop the security car.”
For Hulkenberg, 37, this was a day to remember while he went up to the podium for the first time since he joined the F1 network in 2010.
“Podium – P3 Baby!” His ecstatic racing engineer said on the radio of the team after crossing the line.
“I don’t think I can understand what we just did,” the German replied.
Alpine de Pierre Gasly took sixth, with Lance Stroll (Aston Martin), Alex Albon (Williams), Fernando Alonso in the other Aston and George Russell (Mercedes) completing the Top 10.
