Of course, the 155,000 spectators at the start were shocked when Norris in the McLaren-Mercedes confidently won the fight in the first corner against pole man Verstappen and defended himself against the Dutchman’s attacks for five laps.
New start after Haas fire
In the 33rd of 52 laps, the race started again with fireworks in Magnussen’s Haas Ferrari rear: the safety car was deployed for five laps and many drivers were able to make a “free pit stop”. The field caught up with the restart.
And then Verstappen showed that he is almost unbeatable. He immediately pulled away and took an extra point from his teammate Pérez (6th from 15th on the grid). And in the World Cup, the two-time world champion is already 99 points ahead of the Mexican.
Hamilton destroyed the McLaren duo
Man of the race was eight-time Silverstone winner Sir Lewis Hamilton (38). In the end he lost the duel against compatriot Lando Norris in a McLaren-Mercedes. But the way Hamilton fought his way up from 7th on the grid was impressive. His 14th podium in England.
Of course you also have to count the two orange drivers of Norris and Piastri (sensational fourth) among the big winners behind King Verstappen. The leading group got a new top team with McLaren. Most recently, the British even won twice in Monza in 2021: Ricciardo ahead of Norris.
Ferrari debacle: 3 points
Once again Ferrari disappointed with the big problem of tire wear. Leclerc and Sainz took the final two places in the points, but could no longer put another man in the race, Alex Albon in the blue Williams-Mercedes, in danger. The Thai finished eighth, not a second behind Alonso in the Aston Martin.
Williams passed two teams!
And with these four points, Williams has not unexpectedly overtaken Haas-Ferrari (11) and Alfa-Sauber (9) and is now seventh in the World Championship.
As expected, Alfa-Sauber didn’t stand a chance. Bottas (12th) and Zhou (15th) at least fought bravely. This time there was nothing left. And unfortunately there is no improvement in sight.
