Lewis Hamilton's first Formula 1 win in 945 days might have headlined this year's rain-affected British Grand Prix, but the rest of the weekend burst at the seams with plotlines and announcements.
The 'classic British summer' jibes aside, the British Grand Prix weekend faced an atypical barrage of cold and inclement weather - it felt more like a February's half-hearted release of the winter's last remnants, rather than a sun-baked July. Although unwelcome for the fans who had failed to pack a coat, the inconsistent lashings of rain throughout the weekend at least soaked the Silverstone round in drama.
Slowly drifting out of contention, Red Bull pulled Verstappen in for intermediates at the right time, just as the rain was starting to intensify beyond the remit of slicks, which carried him above Russell and Piastri back into third when the two eventually called in. His pace was still lacking on the green-walled Pirelli tyre and he was continuing to drift away from Norris and Hamilton but joined the Mercedes driver in stopping at the end of lap 38 as the downpour ended.
