British Grand Prix: Carlos Sainz wins after huge Zhou Guanyu crash
The result was defined by a late safety car, as Leclerc was leading and pulling away from Sainz, who was coming under pressure from a charging Hamilton.
Ferrari chose to leave Leclerc out on his used hard tyres, while they pitted Sainz for new softs, a choice made by most other teams with drivers in the leading positions, including Mercedes for Hamilton and Red Bull for Perez.Sainz refused Ferrari's request to give Leclerc as much space as possible at the restart and took the lead down the Wellington Straight and into Brooklands corner with nine laps to go.
Perez cut the apex of the second part of the chicane, a move that is being investigated by the stewards, and then forced Leclerc wide around Club. This gave Hamilton the chance to nip inside both of them into second place, but Perez re-passed him into Turn Three on the following lap, and Leclerc also managed to get back ahead of the Mercedes at Turn Four.But Leclerc would not give way and he repassed Hamilton around the outside of the 180mph-plus Copse corner, despite his worn tyres, before Hamilton finally gained the place for good into Stowe with three corners of the lap to go.
