Lewis Hamilton demands Mercedes improvements despite podium in gripping British GP

Lewis Hamilton was keen to keep his Mercedes team focussed on improving despite securing a podium place at the end of a thrilling British Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion was embroiled in an almighty scrap in the final few laps, as the front-runners fought for a spot in the top three after a safety car restart. Carlos Sainz sped off into the distance to win a Formula 1 race for the first time, leaving Hamilton to fight for second with Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc.

The Red Bull proved to be too quick, as Perez created a gap and secured second place quite comfortably. But third was all to play for, and Hamilton drove expertly to eventually get the better of Leclerc, who was struggling on old, hard tyres.
