FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX LIVE! - All the latest from Silverstone ahead of 11th round of championship

Thanks for joining our live text commentary this afternoon. The full race report will follow.

The race leader makes his way around Club Corner to seal his first British Grand Prix victory here at Silverstone. That is his sixth consecutive victory.

Norris comes home in P2 with a superb result, and Hamilton comes home in P3. Special note for Oscar Piastri who finishes in P4 to get his best result in F1. Report to follow...

Not long left now, but it seems that the top three has been decided. Verstappen leads Norris by 3.7 seconds, with Hamilton in third, over two seconds behind the McLaren. The Briton is reporting that his rear tyres have gone.

Piastri is hanging onto P4, with the gap to Russell behind him at three seconds.

With just a handful of laps remaining, Lando Norris has been given a final warning for extending track limits. One more offence, and the McLaren driver will get a five-second penalty, which will see him lose a podium.

Norris has opened up a gap of 1.9 seconds to Hamilton behind in P3, which has broken the DRS window. The Mercedes driver has reported that he has overheated his soft tyres.

Meanwhile, Sergio Perez has completed a great recovery drive and continues to move up the field. This time he gets past Alonso to move into P6.

For Alpine, Gasly is creeping back to the pits with what looks like a suspension issue after contact with Stroll into Club corner.

The McLaren of Norris is just about hanging in there on the hard tyres, but Hamilton is trying his hardest! The gap is only a couple of tenths, but the McLaren is proving to be a tough car to get past, even on the slower tyres.

The Red Bull of Verstappen has already pulled out a gap of over 2.5 seconds out in front. Meanwhile, the battle between Hamilton and Norris is shifted up a gear as the Mercedes tries to go around the outside into Luffield and Woodcote, and both cars are side-by-side! With Norris just in front, has the advantage and Hamilton backs out of it into Copse. Great racing between both Brits.

We are back racing! Verstappen opts to get the pack going early and around Stowe Corner. Hamilton is on the charge, and is trying his best to get past Norris and into P2, but the McLaren just about hangs onto the position!

The Haas car of Magnussen has now been recovered and the safety car should come into the pits at the end of this lap.

The McLaren cars will be under fire, as they are the only two cars in the top five that have the harder tyres on the car.

Finally, as expected, we have a full safety car! It calls the teams into action as they try and buy a free pit stop. Both Verstappen and Norris pit, but the McLaren has been put on the harder compound tyres. Both drivers remain in P1 and P2.

Hamilton also pits under the safety car, and he makes up some places and moves into P3!

The Haas of Magnussen pulls over to the side of the track on the Hangar Straight, and smoke billows out of the back of the car with some flames to go with it. He stops the car, but because of its position, a VSC has been deployed.

Leclerc has made the most of it and has come into the pits for a set of soft tyres. He emerges back out in 10th.

The fresh tyres are doing the trick for the Mercedes driver! He gets past the Ferrari of Leclerc around the outside of Luffield and moves up into 7th!

The McLaren comes in from third and switches to the hard tyres. It is a quick and stress-free stop from the team, and the Australian is sent back on his way. He rejoins the race in P6, behind the Alpine of Gasly.

The Mercedes driver comes into the pits and finally ditches his soft tyres for a set of mediums. However, the gamble to stay out longer and get the overcut in Leclerc has not worked as the Briton emerges back out in P9, behind the Ferrari.

Sainz comes in for the harder tyres as well from P5, and he comes back out in 12th, two places behind his teammate.

Despite pitting early for a fresh set of harder tyres, the Ferrari driver has not exactly set the world alight with his lap times. However, he makes up a position and moves into 11th after getting past Stroll into Stowe Corner with the help of DRS.

The gap between Verstappen and Norris now stands at over 5.4 seconds and the Red Bull driver is consistently producing quick lap times, including the fastest of the race. The front runners are not thinking about pitting at the moment as they try to make the one-stop work.

The Ferrari mechanics get to work on their No.1 driver, and ditch the mediums for a fresh set of hard tyres. Whether they are remaining on the one-stop strategy remains to be seen.

He came in from P4 and rejoins in P12, over three seconds behind the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll.

Some spots of rain have hit the circuit, but as of now, it is just drizzle. The teams will need to keep an eye on the radars, as threatening clouds still are in the surrounding area.
