Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won Formula One’s 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone yesterday to end Mercedes’ run and become Lewis Hamilton’s closest challenger.

In a race dominated by tyres and strategy, Hamilton swept past Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas to take second place late in the race and stay 30 points clear in the standings.
