Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Second place went to Sergio Perez of Red Bull, third – Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes). Individual leader Max Verstappen (Red Bull) finished seventh.
The British Grand Prix race was halted just after a red flag start on the first lap due to an accident in which five drivers were injured. As a result, Zhou Guanyu (Alfa Romeo) and Alex Albon (Williams) were sent to the hospital. Restart happened in an hour.
The next stage of the Grand Prix will be held in Austria from 8 to 10 July.
