F1 standings after British GP as Lando Norris closes gap to Oscar Piastri
Verstappen did not look to be in the hunt for first place heading into Saturday but he pulled a brilliant lap out of the bag to beat Piastri by 0.103 seconds with Norris third, 0.118 seconds adrift.
George Russell took fourth for Mercedes, one place ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who had dared to dream of a first pole position for Ferrari, but ended up two tenths off the pace. Charles Leclerc qualified sixth in the other Ferrari.
Verstappen was only fourth after the opening runs in Q3 at a gusty and overcast Silverstone, and complained his Red Bull was difficult to drive. However, when it mattered most the four-time world champion came from nowhere to take top spot - his first pole since Miami at the beginning of May.
Here's how the standings look after the British GP.

Piastri himself: 'Apparently, you can't brake behind the safety car anymore. I'm not going to say too much, I'll get myself in trouble. I still like Silverstone, even if I don't like it today.' 6.10pm CEST 18:10 1. Lando Norris (McLaren) 2. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) 3. Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber) 4. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) 5.

'Everything I have ever dreamed of. Your mind goes blank. The main thing is don't f**k it up. Incredible achievement.' Jenson Button apologies for the bad language, so does Lando. 'Oscar put up a good fight. I enjoy these moments out on track. It's a long 52 laps and you never know what it's going to be like, and thanks to all the fans. It was really a beautiful thing.' Updated at 6.07pm CEST 5.52pm CEST 17:52 'I'm not going to say much, I'll get myself in trouble, I'll live with it,' says Piastri, 5.50pm CEST 17:50 'It's been a long time coming,' says Nico. 'Pretty surreal, not sure how it all happened, a survival fight. Incredible. I was in denial until the last pit stop. No mistakes, really happy.' 5.48pm CEST 17:48 Piastri shakes hands sportingly with Norris. The gap between them is eight points and the championhip is between them, it seems. Verstappen had another bad day. Hulkenberg is mobbed. 'Nico, Nico.' Mrs Norris is in tears. 'I love you so much, enjoy, enjoy,' she tells young Lando. 5.44pm CEST 17:44 'It's beautiful,' says a tearful Lando. 'Oh my god,' whimpers a sobbing Nico Hulkenberg He started 19th on the grid. Updated at 5.45pm CEST 5.43pm CEST 17:43 Verstappen makes it to fifth, passing Lance Stroll. Lando Norris, to cheers, gets it done for McLaren, Piastri in second and rueing the stewards. It's a 25th home win. And Hulkenberg lands his first podium. Huge celebrations at Sauber! Updated at 5.51pm CEST 5.40pm CEST 17:40 51/52 In his green Sauber, Hulkenberg is enjoying the race of his F1 life. He's won Le Mans before. 5.38pm CEST 17:38 50/52 Bright sun at Silverstone now. The rain a painful memory for some. Hulkenberg has 5.4 seconds on Hamilton. 5.36pm CEST 17:36 49/52 Norris has the fastest lap and seems set fair for a big win. He's steered clear of the drama of a highly dramatic race. 5.35pm CEST 17:35 48/52 Hulkenberg has been in 259 GPs. Hamilton had a wobble like Piastri and is struggling to close on his fellow veteran. 'No team orders, just race to the end,' McLaren tell Piastri. 5.34pm CEST 17:34 47/52 Leclerc is seen riding some gravel. He's had a shocker. Hamilton sets a fastest lap in search of his sixteenth podium at Silverstone. 5.32pm CEST 17:32 46/52 Piastri is asking for the McLaren drivers to be switched as he is innocent of the safety car accusation. Hulkenberg has the fastest lap…we're all on his side. He has seven seconds on Hamilton. 5.31pm CEST 17:31 45/52 Norris pits. And comes out. He has a lead of six seconds. The two McLarens can now race. Verstappen is swearing again, and isn't happy with his balance…Piastri almost loses it on his new tyres….. 5.29pm CEST 17:29 44/52 Norris in the lead, Piastri comes out in second. The two Haas car – Ocon and Bearman collide – but no safety car. Both Haas' slide in perfect symmetry. 5.27pm CEST 17:27 43/52 Hulkenberg holds third. Piastri is called in. 5.27pm CEST 17:27 42/52 Pitting time: Hamilton can't get past Hulkenberg and so comes in, the slicks it is. Verstappen comes in, too. Hamilton is struggling on these new tyres. Hulkenberg pits – and it's too slow – such a shame. 5.25pm CEST 17:25 41/52 Verstappen past Gasly and into sixth. Piastri is told not to be too silly if Norris comes close to him. 5.23pm CEST 17:23 40/52 George Russell spins and into the gravel – that's the slicks shown up to be not up to the job. Thankfully he's able to continue but a pit and a spin means he's in 14th. Alonso also struggling on slicks. 5.21pm CEST 17:21 39/52 Verstappen is in eighth, his lack of downforce – a 'tea tray', as Christian Horner called it – presents a problem. 5.20pm CEST 17:20 38/52 Quicker from Piastri, and he opens his lead on Norris. Alonso plays guinea pigs as he comes in to change to dry tyres. Russell and Mercedes will take that action – they go to the slicks. 5.18pm CEST 17:18 37/52 Norris has the fastest lap. The race is McLaren's but which of their cars? Piastri has the choice of going into the pits or having 10 seconds chalked off. 5.16pm CEST 17:16 36/52 Hamilton is enjoying the dry and Hulkenberg's quest for a podium place is to be denied by the Ferrari's straight-line speed. Updated at 5.23pm CEST 5.14pm CEST 17:14 35/52 Hulkenberg blazes past Stroll, who soon has Hamilton for company. The old master chases a podium place. Verstappen finally overtakes Sainz. 5.12pm CEST 17:12 34/52 Verstappen is stuck behind Sainz in 10th. This is desperate for him. 5.11pm CEST 17:11 33/52 Russell is chasing Gasly as he seeks to chase old teammate Hamilton. 5.10pm CEST 17:10 32/52 Piastri: 'It's drying but slowly, too soon for slicks.' 5.09pm CEST 17:09 31/52 Hulkenberg gives chase to Stroll, and third is in sight for the Sauber. Stroll says the track is starting to dry. Norris and Piastri look set for a battle at the front. It's Norris's to lose. 5.06pm CEST 17:06 30/52 Hamilton has finally overtaken Gasly for fifth. Hulkenberg, in fourth, has never been on the podium. We are willing him on. 5.04pm CEST 17:04 29/52 Piastri and Norris are 3.6 seconds apart. It's over 15 seconds to Stroll. 5.03pm CEST 17:03 28/52 Hamilton and Gasly really going at it. Great racing. 5.02pm CEST 17:02 27/52 Hamilton goes after Gasly – his old mate – and the Frenchman has more battery, and is using it to defend himself. 'So slow,' complains Verstappen of a car in deep traffic. 5.00pm CEST 17:00 26/52 Zak Brown of McLaren confirms that an appeal has gone in. Hamilton has overtaken Russell. These are his conditions. Discussions on the 10-second penalty within the McLaren pit. 4.57pm CEST 16:57 25/52 That's his punishment for his jiggery pokery behind the safety car. He's 10 seconds clear of Stroll, and 3.6 on Norris who is de facto leader. Verstappen is way back in 10th. Updated at 5.24pm CEST 4.56pm CEST 16:56 24/52 The McLarens are flying – three seconds per lap ahead of the rest. Could a penaly for Piastri hand it over to Norris? Russell and Hamilton do battle, the Ferrari comes wide, and Russell holds the line to go through. Antonelli has retired by the way. 4.54pm CEST 16:54 23/52 Piastri is under investigation for messing around by the safety car. Norris is second, Stroll is third, Hulkenberg fourth, Gasly fifth, Hamilton sixth. 4.52pm CEST 16:52 22/52 Just as the safety car departed, Verstappen spins off, Piastri and him were jousting. He's down in 10th. And then spins wide again, and is in 11th, before going past Ocon again. Did Piastri cause that? 'Whoa, mate! He just suddenly slows down.' Piastri in lumber? Verstappen was lucky not to get in a smash there. Updated at 5.00pm CEST 4.49pm CEST 16:49 21/52 'This puddle at turn two is a problem,' says Piastri. Does a red flag result? Antonelli comes in for a tyre change. His diffuser has gone after that Hadjar crash. Bits are coming off his car. Will he complete? No rear downforce. 4.47pm CEST 16:47 20/52 More safety car 'action', with plenty of spray. 4.44pm CEST 16:44 19/52 Hadjar smashes into the back of Antonelli. 'From out of nowhere, man,' says Hadjar. Hamilton is complaining he can't see anything. 4.43pm CEST 16:43 18/52 The spray is huge as they race. Russell overtakes Hamilton, and Ocon drops two places to ninth. Nobody can see much, surely. Piastri opens up a two-second lead on Verstappen as Norris closes – and Isack Hadjar crashes out. Oof, that was some prang, he's into the stands. Another safety car. 4.39pm CEST 16:39 17/52 Verstappen and Piastri jousting behind the safety car. George Russell asks why the race hasn't been stopped. The safety car is set to be removed, and we are going to race once more. 4.37pm CEST 16:37 16/52 Alonso, in 10th, is complaining about tyres and the pre-race change he made, as Lance Stroll is in fourth in the Aston Martin car.

Can Jofra Archer make an impact in his Test return for England? He is a BOOSTED 8/1 to take 5+ wickets in the first innings against India at Lord's
England were dominated in the second Test against India - with the hosts losing by 336 runs at Edgbaston. As a result - the series is tied at 1-1 as both sides travel south to Lord's for the third Test starting Thursday. Despite their poor showing in Birmingham - Brendon McCullum's side are 10/11 favourites to reign supreme at Lord's and take a 2-1 series lead. Conversely - the visitors are marginal outsiders at 11/8 to be victorious, while a draw is the widest in the market at 11/2. In addition to the head-to-head odds - there are three Price Boosts on offer for the third Test courtesy of Sky Bet. The first boost - which has been enhanced from 4/1 to 9/2 - requires Harry Brook to be England's top runscorer in the first innings. Brook top scored for England in the first innings of the second Test - with the supremely talented batsman registering 158 runs off 234 balls. The other two boosts need Shubman Gill to score 50+ runs in the first innings at 15/8, and Jofra Archer to take 5+ wickets in the first innings at 8/1. Gill was exceptional in his side's win last time out, scoring 269 runs in the first innings before registering 161 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, Archer is expected to make his highly-anticipated return at Lord's - which marks the first time he has represented England in a Test match since February, 2021. Archer boasts a strong record on home soil - with the damaging quick taking 30 wickets in eight matches in England - of which includes two five-wicket hauls. Can he make an immediate impact in his return and help lead England to a crucial win in the third Test? He's certainly more than capable. Sky Bet odds for England vs India (Third Test): England 10/11 India 11/8 Draw 11/2 Sky Bet Price Boosts for England vs India: Harry Brook to be England's top runscorer in the first innings WAS 4/1 NOW 9/2 Shubman Gill to score 50+ runs in the first innings WAS 13/8 NOW 15/8 Jofra Archer to take 5+ wickets in the first innings WAS 7/1 NOW 8/1 All odds are correct at the time of publication

EXCLUSIVE Ex-footballer hopes Joe Thompson is 'proud' after he completes incredible 37-hour fitness challenge in honour of former team-mate who died aged 36 in April
As the self-doubt started to bleed into Simon Ramsden's thoughts, his legs like jelly, arms aching, tears rolling down his face, he just needed a reminder of why he was putting himself through all the pain. 'I had pictures of Joe all around the room,' Ramsden tells Mail Sport. On June 27, the former Sunderland and Rochdale footballer started the hardest challenge of his life. For 37 hours straight, he completed back-to-back workout classes in honour of his ex-team-mate Joe Thompson, who sadly passed away following a third battle with cancer, back in April. This was not Ramsden's first rodeo. He had previously completed a 25-hour challenge to raise funds for Thompson's cancer treatment while he was still fighting the illness; the 43-year-old is a crazy fitness challenge specialist. However, nothing could prepare him for what he would face in those gruelling 37 hours. He had to fight with every fibre of his being, both physically and mentally, to keep going. As time ticked by, he fell deeper into a pain cave that had him wondering whether the challenge was even feasible. But whenever his thoughts turned negative, just one look up at his surroundings would sort him out. 'There was no way I wasn't going to do the 37,' Ramsden continues. 'There was a lot of pressure on me to fulfill that. It's alright me talking the talk, but if I drop out after 30, you look like a bit of a fool, don't you? So I knew I had to do it, I was just in the zone, completely in the zone. 'I had pictures of Joe all around the room. I had little things that people weren't aware of, in the toilets, there were quotes. 'Everywhere I went in between, like when I was grabbing a drink, there'd be a picture of Joe or quotes or motivational stuff, just because I knew it was going to get tough. Little things just to keep me going. 'And then my partner, a few pep talks. I remember my body was just broken at one point; I couldn't lift my arms above my head. I couldn't walk down the stairs. I was gone. 'She was there to try and pick me up because I was physically and mentally just broken. This was about six hours to go.' Ramsden, who played alongside Thompson for three years at Rochdale, was not alone in this challenge. Each class he was joined by a new bunch of people eager to help the cause and raise money for Thompson's wife and two daughters. Former Sunderland manager, Peter Reid, was one of hundreds to take part in the challenge alongside Ramsden, who can't quite believe just how many people supported the cause. 'I had like ex-team-mates coming from all over the country at different times, friends from people I've not seen for 20 years just rocking up, doing one class, two classes. It just shows how inspirational Joe was to so many people,' Ramsden adds. 'Now, a lot of the people in the room didn't even know Joe, didn't meet him, but they've seen his story. They've seen his kids, and they wanted to buy into it. 'But the people who did know him they've travelled. I had a friend come from Carlisle at one in the morning, just to say good luck. Then he ended up doing five in a row. I had a friend from Liverpool come up, just done one class, and drove home. 'Honestly, when I thought of this idea, I couldn't have ever imagined it would have gone as big, and that people would have supported it like they did. It's been incredible.' Ramsden and Thompson grew incredibly close during their time together at Rochdale. Despite the now body transformation coach, who owns his own fitness company, leaving Rochdale in 2009, the pair stayed in touch and grew closer and closer as Thompson started his battle with Hodgkin lymphoma, which first started back in 2013. The ex-defender was with the 'special man' every step of the way until he passed away earlier this year, and just wished that Thomspon was still around to watch the challenge with his family. 'I just wish he were here to witness it, his beautiful kids, and the milestones that they're going to be doing. Joe would have loved to have been a part of the weekend,' says the former Sunderland man. 'I'm really glad his brother came up to be a part of it. He came on the Saturday afternoon and joined in. That was lovely. And then, his wife and kids joined in. Thompson made over 200 appearances for Rochdale before his retirement in 2019 Ramsden played along Thompson for three years in Lancashire and hopes he is 'proud' of him 'I think Joe will be proud, and he knows how much he meant to me, and likewise, so many times when I've needed him in the past, he's been there for me. 'One of the songs that I picked, which you'll see in the video. The chorus is, 'I hope I'm making you proud.' I picked it for a reason.' Overall, the series of workouts has raised over £9,500 for Thompson's family, which is over three times more than the target originally set. And still, the number continues to rise. The truly inspiring work done by Ramsden after such a heartbreaking loss has left him feeling fulfilled. While it has been an incredibly difficult and emotional few months for him and those who knew Thompson, the challenge has allowed him to celebrate Thompson's life and the man that he was. 'There were times when it was extremely tough, but so rewarding, especially when Joe's wife and kids turned up, and different parts of the weekend. It was incredible. 'There's been a bond that's come out of tragedy here, how close the families have got. I would love her [Thompson's wife Chantelle] to come up and keep Joe's legacy going at my classes. 'I'd love to keep his logo on some of my stuff and just keep this, keep this going and keep the story going because I think anybody that was there this weekend, it's a weekend that we'll always cherish. It's something that I don't think anybody will ever forget. 'I hope his kids, especially, it lives long in their memory and they realise how much everyone thought of their dad because he was a special man.'
