AUTO RACING

FORMULA ONE: Lewis Hamilton roared back from a first-lap incident that sent championship leader Max Verstappen to the hospital and overcame a 10-second penalty to win the British Grand Prix in Silverstone, England.

The seven-time champion won at his home track to snap a run of five races without a victory and slash his gap to Verstappen from 33 points to eight.

Verstappen beat Hamilton at the start and the two title contenders furiously zigzagged for position. Their cars touched at least twice as Hamilton tried to slip past Verstappen. Hamilton’s front wheel touched Verstappen’s rear wheel the second time the drivers made contact, and Verstappen careened off course, through the gravel and into the tire barrier.

Charles Leclerc moved into the lead before the race was red-flagged for 45 minutes to allow for repairs to the tire barrier. After the race restarted, Hamilton was assessed his penalty and dropped back to fifth place, but he worked his way back up to second and then passed Leclerc with two laps remaining.
