Norris fulfills childhood dream with Silverstone win

SILVERSTONE, England — It was an image that inspired Briton Lando Norris to chase his Formula 1 dream.

The sight of countryman Lewis Hamilton, his tires kicking up a tail of spray as he sped through the rain toward victory at the British Grand Prix in 2008, stayed with the eight-year-old Norris, who was watching on TV.

On Sunday, Norris got his own win in a thrilling, wet British GP — also involving Hamilton — in front of his home crowd.
