Max Verstappen made a good start in the Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday afternoon. The Red Bull Racing driver seemed to be at a disadvantage because he started on harder tyres than the competition, but he managed to grab Nico Hulkenberg of Racing Point driver straight away.
Valtteri Bottas barely managed to defend his pole position. Lewis Hamilton came very close during the first lap, but his Finnish teammate managed to repel a real attack.
Sebastian Vettel had a dramatic start in his Ferrari. The four-time world champion spun in one of the first corners and had to reconnect at the back of the field. The damage to his SF1000 didn't seem too bad.
