Carlos Sainz takes home maiden Formula One victory
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz became Formula One's 112th winner, following the Spaniard's win at an eventful British Grand Prix. Sainz was followed by Red Bull's Sergio Pérez who finished second ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton. Sainz's teammate Charles Leclerc finished fourth ahead of Fernando Alonso, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. Haas' Mick Schumacher scored his first ever points in Formula One, finishing eighth ahead of Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel and Kevin Magnussen, who rounded up the points places. Maiden pole-sitter Sainz had the worst start to the race, with Verstappen taking the lead but a scary accident involving Haas' Zhou Guanyu and Mercedes' George Russell, saw an early red flag on lap two itself. Zhou, thankfully, was unhurt following his check at the medical centre and Russell walked away unhurt too. At the restart, Sainz made the most of his second opportunity and got a better start while Verstappen suffered from a mechanical issue which effectively ended his chances of fighting for the win. Sainz's teammate Leclerc and Hamilton also led the race for significant periods but in the end it was Sainz who managed to cross the line first to score his first ever win in Formula One.
