Lando Norris claimed his first British Grand Prix win in a race hit by rain at Silverstone

Fans, drivers and celebrities at the British Grand Prix faced a chaotic race when downpours hit Silverstone on Sunday.

In front of record crowds of 168,000 people on Sunday and 500,000 over the weekend, Lando Norris claimed victory for Mclaren.

The thunderstorms in Northamptonshire, however, prompted three safety-car periods at Silverstone.

Formula 1 is celebrating its 75th anniversary this season and the first championship race took place at Silverstone in May 1950.

Here are some the fast cars and famous faces from the weekend.
