Lewis Hamilton has won what is considered the great British Grand Prix celebrity spot as wins the sixth British Grand Prix victory in a thrilling race featuring a crash between Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel.
The battles throughout the field of play created a dramatic race, which is considered by far the best of the year so far.
Hamilton benefited from a safety-car period to take a lead he never lost after Valtteri Bottas had held back an early attack from his Mercedes team-mate.
Behind them, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Verstappen staged a duel for the ages in disputing third place for the first third of the race.
Meanwhile, there was a collision between the Dutchman and Leclerc’s team-mate Vettel, where the German four-time champion was given 10-second time penalty and two penalty points on his super licence.
Hamilton’s victory extends his championship lead to 39 points at the effective halfway point of the championship.
