Carlos Sainz Jr. wins unforgettable British Grand Prix.
Carlos Sainz Jr. lost the lead on the start of the British Grand Prix, struggling to get going from his first career pole. Ain turn 1 gave him another chance, with the series ruling that the race would restart from the original grid order rather than from the order in turn 1. He did not make the same mistake a second time.
Then, he gave it up. Sainz slipped up mid-corner and went off track over-correcting, handing the lead to Verstappen early. He got it back a couple laps later, when Verstappen reported what he initially believed to be the beginning of a puncture. That would instead turn out to be an aerodynamic imbalance, once that greatly slowed the championship leader and left him fighting to hold onto seventh in the closing laps.
It is the first win for Sainz, a mark that took nearly 150 attempts to reach. The former Scuderia Toro Rosso driver got here by leaving Red Bull's driver development program for Renault, leaving Renault for McLaren, and finally taking a seat at Ferrari last year. Now, that long battle to get to a winning car has finally led Sainz to a race win.
