It’s a hurricane that takes everything. After winning his 42nd career victory in Austria, overtaking the illustrious Ayrton Senna (41), Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who once again started from pole position, won on the Silverstone circuit ahead of Lando Norrie ( McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes). He won his eighth Grand Prix of the season out of the ten already contested. The double world champion signs his 43rd career success and takes off in the general.
However, spectators present in England in the rain were able to shiver for a few moments with the thunderous start of the child of the country, Lando Norrie, who took the lead of the race for five short laps, before being overtaken by the Interior by Dutch. And even if there was no photo, the Red Bull driver was quite angry in the first 17 laps, complaining several times about the wind on the radio, when he counted more than three seconds of ahead of the McLarens and Charles Leclerc. He then took off, even accumulating up to five seconds ahead of his competitors. Lewis Hamilton, who started seventh, managed to climb the podium, his fourth of the season.
New black weekend for Alpine
But this weekend will not have been that of Alpine and Esteban Ocon. Very angry after his 13th place in qualifying, even explaining that he had “failed”, the Frenchman gave up on the tenth lap and returned to the pits. The radio gave no explanation for this package.
For his part, Pierre Gasly, who was 9th on the starting line, also had to retire due to a broken suspension seven laps from the finish, while he was fighting a good battle against Carlos Sainz. Kevin Magnussen also capitulated on the 33rd lap. He quickly left his car, which was on fire. The Safety Car has even been deployed.
