For the audience at home and in the grandstands, the Lap 43 Safety Car restart at the British Grand Prix was the beginning of one of the most entertaining passages of racing so far this season – but what was it like for the drivers?

After the Safety Car – caused by Esteban Ocon stopping on track – bunched up the field, it was a fight to the chequered flag to decide the winner and the podium places between Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez.

As Sainz immediately made a move past his team mate at the restart, Perez went down the inside of Hamilton. However, the action did not stop there, as Leclerc, Hamilton and Perez intensely fought for the final podium places.
