Kimi Antonelli delivered a commanding, masterful performance to claim victory at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix Sprint.
The Italian shadowed polesitter Lewis Hamilton for the better part of the 17-lap contest before making the decisive pass at half distance and then pulling clear to win by 2.745 seconds.
Lando Norris completed the podium for McLaren, followed by George Russell in fourth for Mercedes, Charles Leclerc in fifth for Ferrari, while Max Verstappen finished sixth for Red Bull, in what was an afternoon of relentless wheel-to-wheel racing from lights to flag.
Further down the order, Liam Lawson secured the final points in eighth place after a tense late-race duel against Isack Hadjar who settled for ninth. Arvid Lindblad wrapped up the top ten for Racing Bulls.
