The sight of Lewis Hamilton, his tires kicking up a tail of spray as he sped through the rain toward victory at the British Grand Prix in 2008, stayed with the 8-year-old Norris, who was watching on TV. On Sunday, Norris got his own win in a thrilling wet British GP — also involving Hamilton — in front of the British crowd.

Lando Norris gave his compatriots something to cheer about Sunday as he held off Oscar Piastri to win the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit.

Norris followed in the footsteps of fellow British Silverstone victors Sir Stirling Moss, James Hunt, Sir Jackie Stewart and Lewis Hamilton.
