F1 LIVE | Reactions to Leclerc's British GP win, Verstappen critical of Red Bull after DNF

Charles Leclerc was back on the top step of the podium on Sunday having claimed his first victory in almost two years at the British GP. Leclerc's win came after Kimi Antonelli suffered a major technical issue that dropped him out of the points at the British GP.

With a 10-lap fresher tyres in the closing stages, Antonelli was chasing Leclerc and looked favourite to secure the victory before damage to his wheel shield forced him into the pits. Antonelli's woes continued after he was given a five-second penalty for continually going off track with his issue.

On Lap 48 of 52, the Safety Car was out after Max Verstappen's spun into the gravel. Much to the dismay of the Silverstone crowd, the race finished under that Safety Car, meaning Antonelli could not build the gap needed to those behind him and was demoted to P16. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has also suggested the team may look to appeal that penalty for the young Italian.

Speaking after the race, Leclerc, who had not won since the 2024 Austin Grand Prix, said: "It feels incredible. Unfortunately the end was maybe not the one I would have dreamt of. To win after the last few weekends that have been particularly difficult. All the work we put in to try to get the feeling back in the car, felt like I found something yesterday after the Sprint. But I had to confirm it today. Today the feeling was back where it needs to be. I'm so incredibly happy."

Completing the podium were George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, respectively. Leclerc's Ferrari teammate Hamilton faced a nervy post-race wait after an alleged yellow flag infringement, but the seven-time world champion held onto his P3.

Elsewhere, Max Verstappen has said he is "fed up" after a late accident at the British GP denied him a podium at Silverstone- Verstappen was on course for a P3 finish before he spun on Lap 48 at Stowe.

The Dutchman suffered a similar accident at Austrian GP Qualifying last time out, confirming it was a similar issue - that of his rear wing not fully reattaching - that was the cause of the Silverstone crash on Sunday.

Speaking to GPblog and others, Verstappen said: "Yeah like Austria but a different fault but lets say it had the same outcome so again, while turning into the corner, the rear wing is not fully attaching and you lose a lot of downforce with that - so spin off the track.

Responding to Verstappen's comments, Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies said the Dutchman was valid in his concerns. "Look, he's right not to be happy. It is very unusual," Mekies said.
