  1. 'Software error' caused safety car confusion

    The FIA has released a statement to clear up what happened with the safety car at the end of the British Grand Prix.

    "The Safety Car period regulation, Article B5. 13.5, states that one lap must be completed following the unlapping procedure.

    "This process was followed by Race Operations. The “Safety Car In This Lap” message was displayed erroneously due to a software error."

    Bit of luck there for Charles, but he's been absolutely superb today. Makes a change from his usual fortune!

    Champagne moment

    It's been a long wait for Charles Leclerc to get back on the top step of the podium but the Monegasque driver comes out to applause from the Silverstone crowd as the race winner for the first time - and he can't hide his delight.

    The fans are flocking to get a good spot to watch the celebrations unfold - loads are wearing their fluorescent Lando Norris t-shirts - and after the Monaco national anthem, it's time to belt out the Italian one.

    That gold trophy is a beauty. Leclerc lifts it above his head and the Ferrari crew below cheer.

    The two Brits on the podium get the loudest roars from the fans - and now you can soak each other.

    Pop that champagne!

  7. Team radio - Russell to Mercedes

    George Russell: "Well done for sticking in there. That was a very frustrating weekend."

    Toto Wolff: "Straight line was ok in this race."

    This means so much to the Charles Leclerc as he runs over the line to the mechanics, congratulating each one of them. You can almost seen him take a big sigh, shoulders up and down.

    What is going at all?? We were jumping up and down with excitement when we saw Safety Car Ending. Why did it carry on??

    Very underwhelming end to a good race.

  10. Antonelli ends Silverstone in P16

    This has been a rotten Sunday for championship leader Kimi Antonelli. His late car troubles and then a five-second time penalty has dropped him down to 16th at the chequered flag, so he doesn't even pick up a point in round nine.

    I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, Hamilton will be investigated after the race for a yellow flag infringement.

    Lewis Hamilton is getting ready to speak to fellow world champion Jenson Button for the post-race interviews, but will the seven-time world champion be able to keep hold of this third place at Silverstone?

    Harry Benjamin has some news for us...

  13. Lindblad scores points on Silverstone debut

    World champion Lando Norris is fourth, Isack Hadjar finishes were he started in fifth and Liam Lawson banks another sixth place this season for Racing Bulls.

    And Brit rookie Arvid Lindblad is seventh on his British Grand Prix debut!

    Audi get points with Gabriel Bortoleto in eighth and Alpine can celebrate double points in the UK, as Franco Colapinto is ninth and Pierre Gasly, who received a three-place gris drop after qualifying, finishes 10th.

  14. Team radio - Leclerc to Ferrari

    Charles Leclerc: "Lets go! Lets go! Finally, this one feels particularly good. I wish for a bit more normal ending. Hard work paid off, hard times never last, only tough people last."

  15. chequered flag

    Chequered flag

    Ferrari's Charles Leclerc wins the British Grand Prix!

    "LET'S GOOOO!!!!!" screams the Monegasque driver, before making a noise like a chicken?! He won't mind one bit that the ending of that race was a bit of an anti-climax.

    We have two British drivers on the podium this year, as George Russell brings the Mercedes home in second place and nine-time winner Lewis Hamilton finishes third.

    The safety car has been redeployed on the final lap.

  18. Safety car has stayed out

    Lap 52/52

    Well, that was odd. The graphic definitely said the safety car was ending but the red car is still taking the field around Silverstone. Guess we won't get that exciting finish after all.

    Massive drama. We love a restart under safety car.
