Max Verstappen won the British Grand Prix to stretch his Formula One lead to 99 points on Sunday as unbeaten Red Bull equalled McLaren's 1988 record run of 11 victories in a row.
McLaren's Lando Norris finished second in front of a roaring 160,000-strong home crowd at Silverstone, with fellow Briton and seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton third for Mercedes after starting seventh.
The win was Red Bull's first at Silverstone since Australian Mark Webber in 2012, and Norris' podium was a first for McLaren in their home race since Hamilton was second in 2010. Ferrari's underwhelming race marked a full year since the sport's oldest and most successful team last won.Verstappen started on pole position but suffered wheelspin as the lights went out and Norris, alongside on the front row, seized the lead.
Red Bull's current run started at last year's Abu Dhabi season-ender and their form is such that it could be a while before it ends. "That McLaren is a rocket ship. At high speed it was insane," said Hamilton, making his 14th British Grand Prix podium appearance, over the team radio.
