The most important thing today is no one got hurt." I find it incredible that you can come out of it." "When I saw it, I was completely shocked," explained Sainz. "It was incredible. He returned to the paddock later on Sunday. "They've saved probably two lives.

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz scored his maiden grand prix at the end of a thrilling, incident-packed 2022 FIA Formula 1 British Grand Prix disrupted by red flags ...

Ferrari’s solution was to pit Sainz at the end of lap 20 to cover Hamilton and to give Leclerc a chance to outpace Hamilton. Sainz took on hard tyres and rejoined in P3. Ahead Leclerc briefly went off track and Sainz pounced to once again take the lead. Further back, on lap 35, Norris made a pit stop for hard tyres and that handed fourth place to Pérez, though the Mexican would need another stop. The Safety Car also played into Pérez’s hands as he got a free stop, took on soft tyres and kept hold of fourth place. But the Mercedes driver’s stop was a slow four seconds and he emerged behind Sainz in third place. On lap 10 Sainz found himself just eight tenths of a second ahead of Verstappen and was reporting that the Red Bull was quicker. On lap 12, though, Verstappen suddenly slowed on the Hangar straight and Sainz and Leclerc swept past. On lap 30 Hamilton had 19 seconds in hand over Leclerc and the pit window was wide open. He rejoined at the back of the field in P17 and his pit stop freed Hamilton into fourth place ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris. Unsighted, Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel hit the back of Albon’s car and the Thai driver was sent into the wall on the right side of the pit straight. When the lights went out at the start, polesitter Sainz, on medium tyres, got away well, but Verstappen, on soft tyres, was quicker off the line and passed he passed the Spaniard as they headed towards Turn 1. And when the lights went out for the second time, Verstappen immediately put pressure on Sainz, but the Spaniard held the lead as they emerged from Turn 1.

As Rene Arnoux celebrates his 74th birthday, Mirror Sport remembers the major moments from the career of the seven-time race winner who came close to world ...

Three wins in the 1983 season gave him a strong chance of becoming a world champion for himself, but then he suffered an engine failure in the final race and ended up finishing the year third. As a result, the reaction from the French fans was more split than it would usually have been, and the rift between the two drivers meant Arnoux was to move on at the end of the year, joining another compatriot at Ferrari in Patrick Tambay. The Ferrari racer crossed the line just two tenths of a second ahead, but both were treated like heroes by the crowd that adored them for the exciting show they had put on – and both racers received that adulation as one in an inspiring display of mutual respect.

Sainz takes advantage of softer tyres to overtake Ferrari teammate Leclerc and fend off Sergio Perez and home favourite Lewis Hamilton.

He came out on the hard tyre intending to get to the end. With the Ferraris arguing amongst each other, Leclerc in second claiming he was being held up by leader Sainz, Hamilton was bearing down with a series of purple laps. Verstappen was in the pits at the end of the next lap after picking up a puncture. The dynamic of the season was screaming “that’s that then”. Fate had other ideas. Zhou’s accident just 21 seconds into the afternoon stopped the race for almost an hour. Up ahead Sainz was clear on soft rubber and would not be caught.

Carlos Sainz and Valtteri Bottas were among the drivers left stunned by protestors who stormed the track at the British Grand Prix.

On the left side, some protestors or something.” There was some spectators coming on the track before turn six.” Inevitably, drivers took to the team radio moments after seeing the spectators on the circuit, criticising them for putting themselves at risk.

The F1 halo is a safety device, designed by Mercedes and chosen by Formula One instead of Red Bull's alternative idea, which was credited with saving.

I find it incredible that you can come out of it." Hamilton said: "I feel very, very fortunate today. Leclerc said: “I have never been a fan of the halo but I have to say that I was very happy to have it over my head today.” Charles Leclerc paid tribute after crashing with Fernando Alonso in Belgium in 2018. "When I saw [Zhou’s crash], I was completely shocked. It was incredible.

Then that was followed by a continuous longitudinal load as it scraped along the track. All teams have to go through the crash tests on this before their cars are allowed on track. In all circumstances, the choice of a blade roll structure has been favoured over a traditional hoop owing to two factors: aerodynamic gains and weight.

Professor James Brighton, Head of the Advanced Vehicle Engineering Centre and Professor of Automotive Engineering, said: “Safety has been at the heart of our performance vehicle engineering for the last 50 years. Cranfield University has undertaken research, consultancy and testing for the motorsport sector since the 1970s. In the event of an accident, it is imperative to preserve the survival space around the driver and the halo device forms part of that critical zone.

“I have been racing 27 years and I was nine when I saw a kid die on the same day I won a race. The halo destroys the DNA of an F1 car. Grosjean himself was initially sceptical of the device. It is a stark reminder that this is a dangerous sport. Lewis Hamilton initially described it as the “worst-looking modification” in F1 history, while three-time world champion and former Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda, himself the survivor of a horrific crash, said: “There is 100 per cent a better solution than the halo. I have always been aware of the dangers and risks that I take and when I get later in life I question it more than perhaps I did when I was in my early 20s.

Its current contract also expires this year, leading to speculation that the Monaco race would be the one axed if F1 bosses needed to make room on the schedule. According to de Telegraaf, F1 bosses are planning to run 24 races next year, which would be a new record for the sport.

A victory ought to be a cause for celebration but Carlos Sainz's win will have triggered yet more frustration and introspection at Ferrari.

The crumpled wreckage of his Alfa Romeo trapped between the tyre barriers and catch fence would have almost certainly been a tomb had the halo not been in place. The safety car brought Sergio Perez back into the equation on fresh rubber, which over a short, nine-lap stint Hamilton could not rein in. By increments, Mercedes are beginning to get on top of the 2022 model. Then again had Ocon not triggered the safety car Hamilton was bearing down on the Ferraris in the quickest car on the track. Ferrari’s muddled thinking cost Leclerc 15 points, the difference between first and fourth, on a day Max Verstappen was scrapping for seventh. This means putting the quicker Charles Leclerc first from here on in.

Driver Zhou Guanyu says the halo device saved his life after a horror crash at Silverstone on Sunday.

"The other argument was whether it was affecting the driver's visibility, looking out of the cockpit. He says he is the latest in a series of drivers to be saved by the halo safety device. But it quickly proved its worth when it was introduced in 2018, following a campaign by the late FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting and the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. But a few years later Hamilton said it had saved his life in his crash at the Italian Grand Prix in 2021. After years of research it was found to be the only device that successfully passed the test of deflecting a wheel fired at it at 150mph. Halo is a wishbone-shaped titanium bar that sits on top of the cockpit of the car and wraps around the driver's head.
