Kimi Antonelli extended his lead of the Formula 1 World Championship with victory in the British Grand Prix sprint race.

The Italian came out on top in a tense battle with Lewis Hamilton, to take the first sprint win of his career. 

Hamilton closed the gap to George Russell in the standings with his second-place finish, and now trails his countryman by just four points. 

Lando Norris climbed two places by finishing third, despite being less than happy with his McLaren. Charles Leclerc also gained a place, with Oscar Piastri the driver nudged back as a result.
