Lewis Hamilton won a record sixth British Grand Prix following a dramatic race in which Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen crashed.

The reigning world champion finished ahead of his Mercedes teammate Valterri Bottas, with Charles Leclerc of Ferrari completing the podium.

It sees Hamilton move 39 points clear at the top of the driver's standings.

However, most of the post-race attention is likely to be on Vettel and Verstappen, who collided on lap 37.

The pair were battling away when Verstappen overtook his Ferrari rival but ran wide on a corner.

He brought his Red Bull back across as Vettel attempted to come back up the inside, leading to the two hitting into each other.
