Formula One Brit Watch: Four British drivers finish in the points for the first time since 2000 as Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Oliver Bearman, and Lando Norris claim top 10 spots

You have to go back to the last race of the 2013 season for the last time that four Brits started on the grid: Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), Jenson Button (McLaren-Mercedes), Paul di Resta (Force India-Mercedes) and Max Chilton (Marussia).

And you have to go back to Suzuka in 2000 for the last time (before yesterday) that four British drivers finished in the points: David Coulthard (McLaren-Mercedes), Jenson Button (Williams-BMW), Eddie Irvine (Jaguar-Cosworth) and Johnny Herbert (Jaguar-Cosworth).

GEORGE RUSSELL (MERCEDES) — Started 7th, Finished 6th

A relatively comfortable afternoon for Russell, who did what he could with the Mercedes and go one better on his seventh-place finish in Bahrain.

George Russell finished sixth to bring home eight points for Mercedes in a comfortable race

OLIVER BEARMAN (FERRARI) — Started 11th, finished 7th

Bearman was fearless and showed a maturity well beyond his years with a memorable debut.

His two early overtakes to go from 11th to ninth underlined how he looks made for this level and he showed why Ferrari think he is the next big thing.

Oliver Bearman finished seventh on his Formula 1 debut and was congratulated by Russell and Lewis Hamilton afterwards

LANDO NORRIS (MCLAREN) — Started 6th, Finished 8th

Probably a missed opportunity for Norris, especially given his team-mate Oscar Piastri finished in fourth.

Despite starting in sixth, Norris ended in eighth and perhaps McLaren’s race strategy of going for 37 out of the 50 laps on medium tyres was to blame.

This was probably a missed opportunity for Lando Norris, who could only come home in eighth

LEWIS HAMILTON (MERCEDES) — Started 8th, Finished 9th

Hard to see how he could have done much more as he held off Piastri for much of the race, before finishing ninth.

It looks set to be another season without challenging for Mercedes but there was a wonderful moment after the race as Hamilton and Russell congratulated Bearman

Hamilton finished ninth and this will likely be another year without challenging for a title for Mercedes

Widely acclaimed by both critics and audiences alike, the gritty crime thriller’s opening episode has garnered 6.6 million viewers to date. More than 3 million viewers were already streaming the show in advance of its finale last night. The series boasts the position of the most-watched drama launch of the year, so it’s no surprise the Beeb want to cash in on the popularity. The 8-parter follows the story of Michael Kavanagh (James Nelson Joyce), the partner of notorious drug kingpin, Ronnie Phelan (Sean Bean). Beginning to contemplate the possibility of a future and a new family with his girlfriend, Diana, (Hannah Onslow), Michael reevaluates his life choices.

Featuring scenes such as the Catholic ‘wigwam’ cathedral, where a gangster prays for guidance before betraying his fellow crooks, to the ships on the Mersey, the series is set and shot in Liverpool, with an unwavering affection for the city. Others in the cast include Derry Girls’ Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Laura Aikman, last seen being jilted at the altar by Smithy in Gavin & Stacey – who we expect to see returning for series two. After the controversy of his character’s savage m::rder in episode 2, which fans deemed ‘m@d’, it has been confirmed that Sean Bean will make a reappearance in the second season. The news comes after some viewers took issue with his quick departure from the show, writing ‘Perhaps he can only manage 30 minutes of acting per programme. One of the biggest disappointments ever was him being written out of Game of Thrones so early.’ Speculation is already swirling that the new season will feature a flashback episode delving deeper into Ronnie’s past. We have all been blown away by the incredibly positive response to This City is Ours,’ said show creator Stephen Butchard. ‘I can’t thank the audience enough for their time and emotional investment.’ Beginning to contemplate the possibility of a future and a new family with his girlfriend, Diana, (Hannah Onslow, left), Michael reevaluates his life choices Beginning to contemplate the possibility of a future and a new family with his girlfriend, Diana, (Hannah Onslow, left), Michael reevaluates his life choices Featuring scenes such as the Catholic ‘wigwam’ cathedral, where a gangster prays for guidance before betraying his fellow crooks, to the ships on the Mersey, the series is set and shot in Liverpool, with an unwavering affection for the city Featuring scenes such as the Catholic ‘wigwam’ cathedral, where a gangster prays for guidance before betraying his fellow crooks, to the ships on the Mersey, the series is set and shot in Liverpool, with an unwavering affection for the city ‘This City is Ours was one of our team’s first commissions when I joined the BBC,’ added Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama. ‘I could not be happier with how Stephen, Saul and the Left Bank team have brought it to the screen so classily.’ The show has garnered a whopping 92% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with one fan on X calling last night’s finale ‘Shakespearean level drama’. But Salt suggests that the drama is only just beginning: ‘I’m delightedthat we now get to build on this fantastic first run and show that things are only just getting started for this very special series’.
