Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has claimed his first Formula 1 victory after a breath-taking contest at the British Grand Prix.

Sainz's victory is his first in Formula One and is a major milestone in his career. It is also Ferrari's first victory since the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix.

Perez finished second, just 0.8 seconds behind Sainz, while Hamilton finished third, a further 3.6 seconds adrift. Max Verstappen, who started from 10th place after a penalty, finished seventh.
