F1 results: 2023 British Grand Prix results and standings

Max Verstappen saw off a very game Lando Norris to secure British Grand Prix victory and make it six wins in a row.

Verstappen once more did not make the best of starts, Norris getting the jump on the Red Bull driver and leading for the opening five laps, before the superior performance of the RB19 shone through and Verstappen returned to P1, a position which he would not relinquish all the way to the chequered flag.

Lewis Hamilton meanwhile was a major gainer from a Safety Car appearance, helping him to complete the podium places with Norris’ McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri delivering a strong drive to P4.

Norris knew he needed the perfect start and got exactly that, snatching the lead from Verstappen as Piastri searched for a way to make it McLaren P1 and P2, unable to find a route to do so.

Verstappen needed five laps to take that P1 spot back from Norris, at which point normal service was resumed with Verstappen back out front.

Esteban Ocon was the first retiree of the day though as he brought his Alpine back to the pits on Lap 10 due to a hydraulics leak. That later turned into a double DNF for Alpine when Lance Stroll hit Pierre Gasly’s A523.

With the top three of Verstappen, Norris and Piastri having started on the medium compound, that trio committed to a one-stop strategy, Piastri the first to pit on Lap 30 for the hard rubber.

But, as Kevin Magnussen’s Haas engine gave up the ghost just a few laps later, this shook up the strategy battle as the Virtual Safety Car was deployed, followed by the full Safety Car.

Both Verstappen and Norris boxed after the SC came out, soft tyres for Verstappen and hards for Norris, the pair remaining P1 and P2 respectively.

Hamilton meanwhile was a huge gainer as he pitted for soft tyres and re-emerged P3 ahead of Piastri. Would Norris now be under threat too with his tyres two steps harder than Verstappen’s and Hamilton’s, or would this give him the durability at the end as the softs dropped off?

Norris would indeed weather the early storm from Hamilton after that restart with some solid defensive driving, going on to secure that P2 finish to crown a phenomenal British GP race weekend for McLaren, while Verstappen scored his sixth victory in a row and eighth of the F1 2023 season.
