The British Grand Prix is always one of the highlights on the Formula 1 calendar, with Sunday's event potentially offering a three-way fight at the front ...

It wasn't a secret that Ferrucci and Maini couldn't stand each other, and I have a never-used audio of a Trident "team-talk" feature I did with the two somewhere on file. To the delight of the fans and aspiring Autosport writers watching at home, he nailed Kimi Raikkonen and Mark Webber off the line to challenge Kovalainen into Copse and stuck on his six before passing into Stowe on lap five. It's a difficult listen, and I cut the interview short as the atmosphere in the team's truck was horrific. Thus began a phenomenal duel between the red and silver machines in the summer sun, with Vettel getting past the Finnish driver with six laps remaining to cement victory - as Bottas dropped behind the battling Hamilton and Raikkonen by the end. On a day when many struggled to keep the car pointing in a straight line, including chief championship rival Felipe Massa who spun no fewer than five times, after the first round of pitstops no one saw Hamilton again. A bit like the disappointed Coulthard on the podium, the pain of defeat was nothing compared to what Herbert had been through to get to his moment of glory. Hamilton entered his home race in poor form, including his Canada pitlane gaffe and penalty in France that left him fourth in the points. Raikkonen was the driver on the move at the restart though, immediately passing Trulli and team-mate David Coulthard before inheriting the lead once Da Matta had pitted. But Raikkonen’s latest Mercedes engine failure in practice and the resulting 10-place grid penalty presented Montoya with an opportunity to challenge Alonso at the start. But it should also be remembered for the scintillating performance by Rubens Barrichello, who stormed to victory after hunting down and passing Kimi Raikkonen for the race lead. Herbert stroked it home for his first F1 victory at the 74th attempt, and while the Silverstone faithful were upset about Hill’s misfortune, they cheered the Benetton driver to the hilt. With 10 laps to go the gap was 7.5s, five laps later it was 1.7s.

Will Superstar Lewis Hamilton score his first win of the season on his home track? We'll have to tune in to see.

Sling TV's $35 Orange plan might be a good choice for F1 fans who are primarily looking to just watch the races on Sundays. This plan is one of the cheapest ways to get access to ESPN and ESPN 2. Users will still be able to view all F1 onboard cameras, along with full replays of F1, F2, F3 and Porsche Supercup. It also includes the historic race archive. Hulu Plus Live TV is a little more expensive than YouTube TV, but it also offers all the channels you need to watch every second of race weekend. Teams need both strategy and skill to compete against some of the best minds in motorsports. The base package lacks ESPNews, but you can add it for an extra $8 a month with the Fubo Extra Package or pay for the $80-a-month Elite streaming tier that includes Fubo Extra. Check out which local networks FuboTV offers here. The length of the races also varies, with some, like the Indianapolis 500, lasting 500 laps and taking over three hours to complete. Teams can field more than two cars, meaning that the amount of drivers on the grid fluctuates from race to race. Each driver needs to use two different tires in the race, so a pit stop is mandatory, though cars are not allowed to refuel. In contrast, the cars featured in IndyCar are more standardized.

Once the race had been red flagged, the FIA then announced that Zhou and Albon had both been taken to the medical centre, writing: “The FIA advises that following the incident at the start of the race, emergency crews were immediately in attendance, and the drivers of Car 23 (Albon) and Car 24 (Zhou) have been taken to the medical centre. The FIA later confirmed that neither driver had sustained serious injury, but that Albon had been taken by helicopter to nearby Coventry Hospital for precautionary checks, while Zhou remained under observation in the medical centre.

In front of a record crowd of 142,000, the race was red-flagged after an incident at the very first corner after the Alpha Romeo of Zhou Guanyu was left upside down behind a wall.

And Bernie Eccleston says he would “take a bullet” for Putin, that the war in Ukraine is “unintentional” and that Hamilton could have “brushed aside” Piquet’s remarks. And the drivers head off for the formation lap. Among the spectators at Silverstone is Tom Cruise. I’m sure he’d agree that there are a few good men on the grid today but Verstappen – a driver without limits – is far and away the favourite. Lap 1/52: We’re under way – and the cars have barely left the grid before we see a huge crash. An official statement has said: “The FIA advises that following the start of the race, emergency crews were immediately in attendance and the drivers of Car 23 (Albon) and Car 24 (Zhou) have been taken to the medical centre. Controversially, it looks like the drivers will restart in grid order, which puts Verstappen – who had moved past Sainz in the early moments – back to second and Hamilton, who was third when the red flag came out, back to fifth. Lap 1/52: Albon is also out, while Tsunoda and Ocon look to have damage. Lap 6/52: Leclerc is doing his best to hunt down Verstappen, the gap between them a tight half a second. These people were immediately removed and the matter is now being dealt with by the local authorities.” Lap 14/52: And it looks like the issue with Verstappen’s car hasn’t been entirely fixed. Verstappen trundles into the pits and emerges in sixth. Lap 17/52: So then, we have the two Ferrari drivers in first and second, with Leclerc not happy about being stuck behind his teammate.

Carlos Sainz couldn't convert his maiden F1 pole into an early lead at Silverstone, as world champion Max Verstappen made the perfect getaway.

Check out the race start in the video above. A three-car contact also involving Mercedes' George Russell and AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly saw the Alfa Romeo of Zhou Guanyu barrel roll out of the race at Turn 1. Your choices on this site will be applied globally.

Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu was protected by the "halo" of his car at the British Grand Prix when Zhou's car flipped and skidded along the track.

"Further updates will be given in due course." Zhou's car flipped immediately after that initial contact and skidded for several hundred feet across the track and then the gravel trap before its momentum sent it hurtling over the tire barrier and into a space between the barrier and the fence. During the first lap Sunday at the British Grand Prix, Chinese Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu was involved in an intense crash that flipped his car and sent it skidding across the pavement before it flipped into a barrier against a fence.

Leclerc was brought into the pits on Lap 25, emerging back behind Sainz in P3 as Hamilton took the lead of a race for the first time in 2022. It was Perez, though, who had the legs, passing Hamilton into the Village Complex, with Leclerc sneaking past the Mercedes too, before that duo enjoyed a sensational duel – Leclerc brilliantly holding off Hamilton through Copse, only to be forced to cede position at Stowe. Perez was clearly hobbled, and was forced to dive into the pits on Lap 5 for a new nose and another set of medium tyres, the Mexican dropping from P4 to P16. Up front, Verstappen had his blood up and was starting to reel in Sainz after the Spaniard’s aggressive restart. “I can’t maintain this pace forever,” said Hamilton, and Mercedes took pity on Lap 33, bringing him in for hards on what was a sluggish 4.3s stop, with an issue on the rear-left. Hold onto your hats because we’re going trans-European as we prepare for the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring next weekend – that’s July 8-10. A new set of mediums were administered and he emerged P6, but was still unhappy with the car – the team confirming he’d suffered bodywork damage that would compromise his performance, but which wasn’t safety-critical, despite Verstappen’s claims that the car was “100% broken”. Vettel and Magnussen rounded out the top 10, Haas taking double points after a five-race drought. It was one of his days, but we managed to hold on and I'm incredibly happy” – Carlos Sainz, Ferrari He was indeed – but Sainz made Verstappen’s extra pace academic when he had a wobble on the exit of Maggots/Becketts and ran off track, allowing Verstappen an easy pass. Race control had the risk of rain at 20% – but the clouds soon dissipated, leaving us with a dry race. Zhou and Albon were both taken to the medical centre conscious, after what had been a pair of ugly crashes. After a 45-minute stoppage, the cars reformed on the grid.

Max Verstappen (somehow). Motor Racing Formula One World Championship British Grand Prix Race Day Silverstone, England. The placement of a frontrunning driver ...

The omens weren’t great for Schumacher, starting 16th at a track Haas never looked that competitive at in all conditions this weekend. Of course, Fernando Alonso’s going to be sticking his nose in there somewhere. When he signed that 2022 Mercedes deal, Russell may very well have imagined himself winning his home grand prix. Schumacher has had a few races that looked like promising opportunities to end his wait for an F1 points finish. There will not be many more open goals like this, and Leclerc knows it. – JS We were premature, it turns out. Points on the board, Ferrari failing to capitalise with Leclerc, Perez having proven second-best to Verstappen all weekend. Yet, well, it feels like what transpired after Verstappen ran over the AlphaTauri debris and hobbled his RB18 was more or less the best-case outcome. – Scott Mitchell Funny how F1 works isn’t it? And the pace was, of course, there – there was every chance he was going to streak away from Sainz and into the distance after that initial pass.

The drivers and teams report back on all the action from Silverstone, for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix 2022...

The cars were fast, the guys did a good job, the pit-stops were good, so what we need to do now is a very good qualifying and a very good race and then we’re back in the game.” Luckily, I only damaged my front wing and was able to get back to the pits with the red flag and continue to race with the restart. "We lost a little bit of time in the pit stop, and then I was chasing, and chasing, and chasing, but the pace was great on both sets of tyres and then at the end there it was just a little bit difficult. I had a really great run on the second restart and could see the fans cheering for me in the stands, which was awesome to see. In addition, he experienced a DRS failure that required an additional pit-stop mid race and required him to run without the DRS in the second half of the race. Lewis on the other had a great start moving to 3rd so it was a shame that he was put back into fifth for the restart from where we dropped a further position. On the other hand, we can be pleased that we were fighting at the front after a very tough start to our season and a lot of hard work from everyone in Brackley and Brixworth to recover a huge performance gap. I asked the marshals to leave the car and next thing, when I got back, the car was on the back of the flatbed which meant I couldn’t restart. This year is going to be a pretty tough one to win but we just need to get our house in order to be properly on top of the car’s performance. It was unfortunate because I think it would have been a fantastic race for him today, but every point counts and he fought as hard for P7 as he would for the win. "The car was a handful to drive, I tried to find a good aero balance but it was difficult. “To get back to winning, especially at such a demanding track as Silverstone, is particularly pleasing and confirms that we have worked well this season, both at the track and back in Maranello. Carlos had a great weekend, in which he also secured his first pole position.

I asked the marshal to make sure that they didn’t pick the car up and as it turned out there was nothing wrong with the car bar a puncture. “I ran back to the team to check and when I came back, the car was on the flat bed [truck] already. When I came back, I couldn’t get the car turned on, but I don’t know, there was no reason why I shouldn’t have been able to because the car was fine.

Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu credited the 'halo' for keeping him alive following his harrowing first-corner crash at Sunday's British Grand Prix.

Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu said Formula One's halo head protection system had saved him after his car was involved in a huge crash at Silverstone.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr. went on to win his first career Formula One race on Sunday in what was the most dramatic race so far this season. It was the second time on Sunday that the halo had saved a driver from serious injury, and probably worse. “Halo saved me today.

Exactly 68 years ago today, Mercedes-Benz entered its first F1 race, took its first pole position, and won its first Grand Prix, all the same race.

As such, they went on to claim first and second position in the grand prix. Almost exactly like the 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons of F1! Better yet, a lot of the items are already on sale anyway.

Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu said the halo cockpit saved his life after a horrific crash during the British Grand Prix.

F1 originally intended to introduce halo cockpits to the sport in 2017, but the plan was delayed, citing the “relatively short timeframe” to implement the requirement. Since F1 is considered the the most prestigious racing series, many have looked to it to lead the way in this area, and in some ways it has. The concept leaked in 2015, following the death of IndyCar driver Justin Wilson during a race when his head was struck by debris.

"It's not a strange feeling at all. What followed was a stunning battle to conclude the race, in which Hamilton, Perez and fourth-placed Ferrari driver Leclerc went wheel-to-wheel.

"When you look at it from a purist point of view, it's not ideal, because it seems that we're giving more and more influence to the FIA to dictate what your set-up is. But away from the internet’s toxicity, it was a joy to behold the close battling between the drivers in the final frenetic shootout to the Silverstone flag and their positive reactions to it. So, a bit of a surprise to say the least. "Nobody had an idea until the FIA brought it up, which was to a great surprise of all the teams," said Mercedes’ team boss Toto Wolff. "What's in the regulation and what the intent of the regulations is, is pretty clear. Not only was the RB18 still the machine to beat, but as Ferrari stumbled, Red Bull only lost ground in the teams’ standings on its bad day by a palatable 13 points. While the likes of Haas has played it conservative by avoiding a radical overhaul to truly understand and exploit its car’s baseline performance, the covers came off widely revised Williams, Mercedes, Alpine, Aston and Red Bull creations at Silverstone. It was sheer bad luck that Verstappen’s afternoon was undone by running over debris from the AlphaTauri’s colliding to damage his bodywork and instinctively create a pitstop to remedy any possible puncture. And Carlos, by stopping and being second, he would have protected at least in the first couple of corners where we knew that starting on the hard, it would have been a bit more difficult. But in addition to Sainz refusing to do as suggested, the softs did not degrade as expected. “If we would have stopped, maybe the other ones may have stayed out, and [Leclerc] would have maybe been fourth on soft tyres with other cars ahead of him. This was down to the team orders saga in which the Scuderia found itself entangled once Verstappen had dropped out of contention. Once again, Red Bull’s package looked the class of the field before fate intervened, but Ferrari made a fight of it and came away with victory, although not without making very heavy weather of things and denying Leclerc a near certain win he’d worked brilliantly to be eying.

Another driver, who was involved in the crash at the British Grand Prix and ran to Zhou Guanyu's aid, said it was "one of the scariest I've ever seen".

The incident was reminiscent of a crash in F1 involving Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the Italian Grand Prix last year. It was stuck between the tire wall and the fence, delaying efforts to extricate Zhou. Alex Albon of Williams was also taken to the medical centre and then his team said he'd been transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for a precautionary check. The group said that five of its activists reached the track. His car slid upside-down across the gravel and his Alfa Romeo seemed to be wedged between fencing and a tire barrier at the first corner. Russell appeared to be hit from behind at the start and was knocked into Zhou, whose car went flying across a gravel trap and over a tire wall into the retaining fence.
