Charles Leclerc won the British Grand Prix, his first win since 2024.

Leclerc's win was dramatic, with a safety car ending the race.

Oscar Piastri had a difficult start, damaging his front wing on the first lap.

Piastri finished 11th, helped by other drivers' problems and a late safety car.

Leclerc's win came after Kimi Antonelli's car had a wheel shield failure.

Antonelli was leading the championship, but his lead is now 25 points.

George Russell finished second, after a lucky safety car helped him.

Russell was happy with his result, despite having a puncture earlier.

The safety car was initially called in, but then redeployed for the final lap.

Leclerc was relieved the safety car stayed out, as his tires were cold.

The British Grand Prix was full of drama, with many drivers having problems.

Leclerc's win is a big boost for Ferrari, after a difficult few weeks.

The next Formula 1 race is the Belgian Grand Prix in two weeks.
