Ten of the best pictures which tell the story of the 2016 British Grand Prix weekend.
Jolyon Palmer
One of the home drivers inevitably commanded most of the attention but Jolyon Palmer was out to enjoy his first start at Silverstone as an F1 driver.
Pascal Wehrlein
It was a hero-to-zero sort of weekend for Pascal Wehrlein: Having scored a point in Austria he spun out early in the rain on Sunday.
Valtteri Bottas
Williams starred in this race last year, passing the Mercedes at the start and leading. There was no repeat of those heroics this time – both drivers finished out of the points.
Marcus Ericsson
Sauber brought their first upgrades of the year to Silverstone but Marcus Ericsson smashed his car up against the barriers in final practice and missed qualifying.
Lewis Hamilton fans
While a minority of spectators resorted to mindlessly jeering at Nico Rosberg, others found wittier ways of expressing themselves.
Grid
With one side of the grid almost flooded a rolling start was inevitable.
Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen put in a bravura performance in the rain, passing Rosberg around the outside at Becketts. DRS inevitably undid his hard work when the track dried, but Rosberg’s penalty handed second place back to Red Bull’s young star.
Cars
The finishers lined up at the end of the race.
Lewis Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton celebrated his fourth win on the podium…
Lewis Hamilton
… and with his adoring fans.

No other driver gets a reception like this. We are witnessing something great.
