Verstappen wins at Silverstone as Norris holds off Hamilton for second Silverstone          [9 July 2023] Max Verstappen eased to a 99-point lead in this year's Formula One championship with victory at the British Grand Prix, as Lando Norris held off fellow Briton Lewis Hamilton for second place on home turf. The Red Bull driver held a 3.8-second lead over Norris at the chequered flag, with Hamilton a further 2.9s off in third. The victory was Red Bull's 11th in a row, matching the record set by the dominant McLaren team in 1988, and means Verstappen could finish in second place at all the remaining races and still secure the title. Teammate Sergio Perez, who remains his closest title rival, finished sixth at Silverstone.
