​London: Mercedes Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton won the British Grand Prix, while German teammate and leader of the 2016 Driver Standings Nico Rosberg came in second at the Silverstone Circuit here on Sunday.

This is the 47th victory in Hamilton's professional career, as he managed to reduce points' difference with world F1 leader Rosberg to only four points.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen claimed the third position, while his Australian team-mate Daniel Ricciardo held the fourth place.
The pair was followed by the Finnish Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari), Mexico's Sergio Perez (Force India), Germany's Nico Hulkenberg (Force India), Spain's Carlos Sainz (Toro Rosso), the German Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari) and Russia's Daniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso).

In a reversal of the scenes at Spielberg following last Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, where Hamilton and Rosberg collided on the final lap, Rosberg was booed by fans during the podium ceremony at Silverstone.

A great job and thank you so much guys for your efforts back at the factory,” said Hamilton on his victory lap.From the podium, he added: "We've got the best fans here so thank you so much... I am not sure you can be as happy as I am."A downpour shortly before the race created some havoc and an immediate call for "full wet" tyres and a plodding safety car start.
