Charles Leclerc wins the British Grand Prix

By Michael Doyle

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc has won a drama-filled British Grand Prix, which ended under the safety car following a late crash by Max Verstappen.

Mercedes driver George Russell has finished second, after not pitting under the late safety car and passing Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, who did pit.

The safety car was initially called in for the final lap, but the race control redeployed the safety car for the final lap.

Kimi Antonelli is furious with his 5-second penalty

By Michael Doyle

Kimi Antonelli has been told he has a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits.

He went off the track a lot when he was struggling with his car.

He has complained on his radio that his penalty is not right, because he was not gaining any advantage.

That's a joke, mate. I didn't do it on purpose. The car was broken.

By Michael Doyle

Kimi Antonelli is going slowly.

"Something broken in the car".

39/52: Pit stops under the VSC

By Michael Doyle

Max Verstappen has come in for a new set of medium tyres.

The Dutchman will be very fast at the end of the race in his battle against Lewis Hamilton for third place.

Isack Hadjar (Red Bull) and Lando Norris (McLaren) also pit.

Leader Charles Leclerc asks Ferrari if they are going to pit, and Ferrari says no.

Leclerc would have come back out second, however, Kimi Antonelli was mowing him down before the VSC on much fresher tyres.
