Carlos Sainz of Ferrari, who started for the 150th time, claimed his first-ever F1 win after leading from start to finish.

The first lap saw four cars being ruled out with the Chinese driver, Guanyu Zhou being very lucky to escape a serious injury.

Sainz managed to hold off Carlos Perez for the win, while Lewis Hamilton rounded off the podium in third.

Following his win, Sainz said being able to win a first Grand Prix at the home of British motorsport is certainly special.

“It's amazing. I mean, first race win, 150 races later, with Ferrari, in Silverstone. I cannot ask for more.

“It's a very special day, a day that I will never forget, a very special weekend in general, and yes, thank you everyone for your support, for your cheers.

“Lewis was on it today, I heard. It was one of his days, but we managed to hold on and I'm incredibly happy.”

The reigning world champion, Max Verstappen, finished in 8th, while Mick Schumacher earn his first-ever F1 points by finishing in 9th.
