Silverstone (UK): Lewis Hamilton benefitted from a fortuitously-timed safety car to win his home British Grand Prix for a record sixth time, ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas who completed a one-two for Mercedes on an action-packed afternoon of racing.

Hamilton, 34, five-time world champion, who had started alongside pole-sitter Bottas on the front row and had run second to him after a brief wheel-to-wheel battle in the early stages of the race, beat the Finn by 25 seconds.
