SILVERSTONE, July 4 — Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz claimed his first Formula One victory on Sunday in a thrilling British Grand Prix halted by a first-lap crash and with the added mayhem of a track invasion by environmental protesters.
The last nine laps were frantic, full of overtaking as the safety car came in and Perez, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Hamilton fought for second. Leclerc, who had led with 12 laps to go, finished an unhappy fourth after a strategy call that cost him victory. The race was red-flagged and halted for an hour after Chinese rookie Guanyu Zhou’s Alfa Romeo became wedged on its side between the tyre wall and catch fence on lap one. He was later given the medical all-clear.
Williams’s Alex Albon and Mercedes’s George Russell, who had previously finished every race in the top five and was making his first home appearance for the team, were caught in the first-lap carnage and retired.While the red flags were being waved, a group of ‘Just Stop Oil’ protesters ran on to the track at the high-speed Wellington Straight to boos from the crowd before being wrestled away.
