Max Verstappen enters the British Grand Prix with a wider lead in the Drivers Championship standings after Lando Norris was forced to retire from last week's Austrian Grand Prix following a collision with Verstappen. Despite being hit with a 10-second penalty for his role in the incident, Verstappen rides into Silverstone, England, with a 81-point advantage. The defending British Grand Prix winner is more than comfortable at Silverstone Circuit, having set the lap record (1:27.097) at the track in 2020.
