F1 star Lando Norris injured after Grand Prix win after a fence collapsed during celebrations
Norris, 25, had taken the chequered flag in a tricky but thrilling race at Silverstone.
The McLaren driver was presented with the glistening RAC trophy and a unique one built out of Lego Bricks on the podium.

But as he carried the trophy around the paddock, he suffered a face injury as a photographer fell back into him when a fence collapsed.
Footage showed the Brit walking up to the wall as he held the trophy for his win.

As he approached the fence separating him from a crowd of fans, one of the McLaren team members climbed the fence next to a photographer.
However, the fence then collapsed under the weight of them and saw the photographer fly back into the F1 star as his section on the right side of it came away.
With cameras pointed at him from every angle behind him, Norris appeared to headbutt one of the camera lenses as he was surprised by the falling photographer on the fence.
He was then seen holding his face in his hands as the photographer apologised for the accidental collision.
Footage showed the driver being escorted back to his garage in the pit lane as he held his hands over his face.
McLaren have confirmed that Norris has a small cut on his nose, but is otherwise fine.
Norris had been reduced to tears after winning his home race ahead of teammate Oscar Piastri and Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg - who landed his first ever podium in 239 F1 races.
He was overcome with emotion and forgot to check his language live on Sky Sports as he conducted his post-race interview.
Jenson Button was forced to apologise on the driver's behalf after he swore when saying his thoughts in the final laps were to 'not f*** it up'.
His language could see him fined nearly A$8,800 under the FIA's 'swearing ban' which was made a permanent rule this season.

De Minaur defeated by Novac Djokovic at Wimbledon
Australian Alex de Minaur has failed to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, after being knocked out of the contest by 24-time grand slam winner Novak Djokovic. Despite a strong start by the Aussie, his Serbian opponent staged a comeback that keeps his hope of a 25th grand slam win alive. Djokovic will now advance to the quarter-finals after his 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over de Minaur. With Roger Federer watching from the Royal Box, the player whose record eight men's titles Djokovic is trying to equal, Djokovic's usually-surgical game misfired badly early on. "I can't remember when I've seen him play a worse set than this," John McEnroe, who won Wimbledon three times in the 1980s, said on the BBC telecast. "I mean, it's literally been years." The Aussie took an early lead, winning the first set, before Djokovic turned the tables and ended the match in the three subsequent sets. The hustling and bustling of Di Minaur's game continued to cause Djokovic headaches, but the sixth seed found his range to win the next two sets full of baseline rallies. Even then, Djokovic looked like getting dragged into a fifth set as Di Minaur jumped into a 4-1 lead in the fourth set. But the Serb slammed the door shut just in time, winning five games in a row to take his place in the last eight. Djokovic's bid for an eighth Wimbledon title and 25th Grand Slam singles trophy overall will continue against world number 22 Flavio Cobolli of Italy. AP/Reuters/AAP

McLaren expect Piastri to turn hurt to his advantage
McLaren expect Australia's championship leader Oscar Piastri to turn British Grand Prix hurt to his advantage as the Formula One title battle with teammate Lando Norris gets increasingly intense and rivals are left trailing. The pair are now only eight points apart at the top, with Piastri finishing second to home hero and crowd favourite Norris on Sunday but still heading the standings at the halfway point in the season. "I will use the frustration to make sure I win some more races later," an unhappy Piastri said after a 10 second penalty for braking heavily behind the safety car scuppered his chances just when he seemed set to triumph. Team boss Andrea Stella suggested Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who took evasive action that carried him illegally ahead of Piastri momentarily, had made the Melburnian's offence look worse than it was. "We'll have to see if other competitors kind of made the situation look worse than what it is, because we know that as part of the race craft of some competitors definitely there is also the ability to make others look like they are causing severe infringement when they are not," said the Italian. "So a few things to review but now the penalty has been decided, has been served, we move on. "I think we will see if there is anything to learn on our side and I'm sure Oscar will use this motivation for being even more determined for the races to come and trying to win as many races as possible." McLaren are galloping away with both titles, with their insistence that it is not a two-horse race sounding increasingly hollow. Reigning champion Verstappen is still third but now a massive 69 points behind Piastri while McLaren have scored more than twice as many points as closest rivals Ferrari and are 238 clear. "Oscar is a very fast, very strong, very determined driver," said Stella. "He proved that (on Sunday), it didn't lead to a win but I'm sure it will lead to many more wins this season already." To put it into perspective, McLaren have scored more points than Ferrari and third-placed Mercedes combined. The 460 points is also more than the 392 scored by the remaining seven teams together. Piastri has won five times, Norris four and McLaren have had five one-two finishes in 12 races. If they continue at their present rate of scoring, McLaren will eclipse last year's points haul of 666 long before the end of the campaign. Drivers now have a weekend off before the championship battle recommences at the Belgian Grand Prix, the start of the second half of the season. McLaren's CEO Zak Brown said: "It is just the midseason, many more opportunities and I think this (result) will give Oscar even more motivation."

Djokovic survives scare to reach Wimbledon quarters, Sinner in action
Novak Djokovic survived a scare to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a tense four-set victory over Alex de Minaur on Monday, staying on course for a blockbuster clash with world number one Jannik Sinner. Seven-time champion Djokovic endured a nightmare start to his last-16 match against the Australian 11th seed on Centre Court, but eventually battled back to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Fresh from his 100th win at Wimbledon on Saturday -- making him the third player to achieve that feat after Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer -- Djokovic reached his 16th quarter-final at the tournament. Aged 38, Djokovic is aiming to win a record 25th major title, breaking a tie with the long-retired Margaret Court, and a record-equalling eighth men's crown at the All England Club. That would make him the oldest Grand Slam singles champion in the Open era. "It wasn't a great start for me, it was a great start for Alex de Minaur obviously. I kind of reset myself in the second set," Djokovic said. "I was very pleased to hang in tough in the right moments and win this one." Sixth-seeded Djokovic's 101st victory at Wimbledon came under the gaze of Federer, who was sitting in the front row of the royal box alongside his wife Mirka. "It's probably the first time he's watching me and I've won the match," said Djokovic. "The last couple I lost, so good to break the curse. "No, it's great, obviously, great to have Roger, a huge champion and someone that I admired and respected a lot. "We shared the stage for so many years, and it's great to have him back." - Sinner in the groove - In the last eight, Djokovic faces Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli, who defeated former Wimbledon runner-up Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/3). The 23-year-old will be playing in his Grand Slam quarter-final having never advanced past the third round in his seven previous appearances at the majors. While defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is yet to consistently find his top form at the tournament, Sinner has been dominant on the grass. The three-time Grand Slam champion, who takes on Bulgarian 19th seed Grigor Dmitrov on Monday, is looking to reach his maiden Wimbledon final. He has dropped just 17 games in his first three matches, equalling Jan Kodes' 1972 record for the lowest number of games lost on route to the Wimbledon last 16. Iga Swiatek, a five-time major winner, has never reached a Wimbledon final but the Pole is in a strong position in the second week of the tournament after the exit of so many of the top seeds. Although Swiatek, who plays Danish 23rd seed Clara Tauson in the last 16, has reached only one All England Club quarter-final, she made the Bad Homburg final on grass recently and also won the Wimbledon junior title. Russian seventh seed Mirra Andreeva, who is just 18 years old, can reach the Wimbledon quarters for the first time if she defeats American 10th seed Emma Navarro, who ended Barbora Krejcikova's reign as champion on Saturday. Former Olympic champion Belinda Bencic reached her maiden Wimbledon quarter-final -- and first at any Grand Slam since 2021 -- with a 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 victory against Russian world number 17 Ekaterina Alexandrova.
