“It is a winning dream at home,” said an emotional norris on the radio of the McLaren team on its turn the slowdown.

“Thank you for the memory. I will remember more than anything.”

Nico Hulkenberg, meanwhile, finally ended his career podium because, at the 239th moment of demand, the Sauber pilot led an extraordinary race of the 19th on the grid to beat the specialist of Silverstone Lewis Hamilton to third.

Completing fourth for the second consecutive week, Hamilton’s expectation for a first podium of the Grand Prix in Ferrari continues, with the series of British British Silverstone Top-Three ending at 12 years old.

Verstappen turned into the wet in the two corners of the Piastri incident in the middle of a difficult pole race, before finally making a path in the fifth.

But the Red Bull driver is now 69 points of the title of the title and apparently firmly by realistic affirmation for a fifth consecutive world crown given the implacable results of the two McLarens before him.

With the Mercedes and Charles Leclerc de Ferrari pilots every hot afternoon after seeing training games through elegant tires while the dried track return, Sauber was not the only midfielder team to take rare opportunities to play.

How the penalty cost the victory at Pitri to Jubilant Norris

The controversial and changing moment of the victory of the captivating race occurred in the 21st round.

After a period of intensification of the rain, he highlighted the safety car twice in a quick succession – the second time that an Isack Hadjar, not followed, crashed after slamming in the back of the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli – Piastri was preparing for the restart while he directed towards the Verstappen and the rest of the pack.

However, while he slowed down to build a gap in the security car, Verstappen had to take evasive measures to the right of McLaren and briefly exceeded the head of the race, before returning behind.

The stewards placed the incident under investigation and quickly decided that Piastri had violated the rule which stipulates that there must be “no erratic braking or any other maneuver which is likely to endanger other engines”.

They imposed an expensive 10s penalty, which should be served at its next stand at the stand.

“What [Piastri] Done was clearly a violation of this article, “read the report of the subsequent stewards.

Apparently not connected, Verstappen then half shot in both corners at the outlet of Stowe, immersing the foot of the top 10 before having his Red Bull again.

While the race has resumed and tried to start building a sufficient lead in Norris to deny his penalty, an annoyed Piastri expressed his anger against the sanction on team radio.

McLaren was also happy on the channel of the stands and filed his complaints in control of the race.

Piastri led Norris only about three seconds up to 44 years, when he stopped at the stand to go to dry tires – with his 10 second penalty served in the McLaren pit box before the tire change can take place.

Norris duly inherited from the advance, then kept it once he made his stop at the penalty stand at the end of the next tour.

While Piastri briefly threatened to chase his teammate while he was starting to close his new deficit, the Australian suggested to the McLaren pit that they plan to escape the order of cars if they agreed with him that his sanction had been unknown.

McLaren denied the request and Norris saw the last laps to win nearly seven seconds, becoming the first British driver other than the winner of Nine times Hamilton to win in Silverstone from David Coulthard in 2000.

“It’s quite incredible. Tomorrow morning will be the best time of realization when I wake up,” said Norris.

“I never know how to think about it, how to imagine it before. I want to win here more than any other place in the world. You have to go out and do it.”

While the British celebrations were seriously starting at Park Farm, a Piastri at the spotlight was largely bitten about the language about its penalty, but its embarrassment was clear.

“I’m not going to say much. I will get in trouble,” said the head of the world title. “Bravo to Nico. I think that is the highest point of the day.

“Apparently, you can no longer brake behind the safety car. I did it for five laps before that.

“I’m not going to say much because I will get in trouble. I still like Silverstone, even if I don’t like it today …”

“ It is quite surreal ” – Hulkenberg defies the chances of ending the expectation of recording

When the moment finally arrived for Hulkenberg after 15 years of testing, the 37 -year race on a young girl’s podium could not have been more improbable – or emotional.

Sauber had scored points in the previous three races thanks to recent upgrades, but the hope of extending the race for a fourth race on Sunday had seemed far away after Hulkenberg and his teammate Gabriel Bortoleto qualified respectively the 19th and 17th positions respectively

But Hulkenberg was catapulted into the top 10 after a fossa stop at the new, then ended up in the first four after the Rotation of Verstappen at the end of the 21st.

Going out the promenade 13 laps later, Hulkenberg then began to undergo Hamilton’s pressure, but, although it initially appeared that the Ferrari, generally faster, would end up taking front, the German veteran remained through dry stops and then finished five comfortable seconds during the last passage with the Briton which fights for the Agrippe.

He wrote jubilation scenes in the Sauber team while celebrating with Hulkenberg at Park Ferme, the Swiss outfit themselves did not finish on the podium since 2012.

“What a race. Coming from practically last, start again last weekend,” said Hulkenberg, who finally banish the unwanted record for the most F1 races without a podium.

“It’s quite surreal, to be honest. I don’t know how everything happened, but obviously crazy mixed conditions.

“It was a survival fight for a large part of the race. I think we were really on it with the right calls, the right tires at the right time, we made no mistakes – quite incredible.

“I was in denial until probably the last stop at the stand, but when I heard Lewis a little with the only additional turn, I said to myself:” Ok, that’s good, it’s a breathing space. “”
