Red Bull's Max Verstappen has claimed a sensational victory at the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix.

Verstappen delivered a tactical masterclass at Silverstone to bring Mercedes' domination to an end.

Lewis Hamilton slipped into second and his teammate Valtteri Bottas into third, with Red Bull taking to the top spot of the podium for the first time this season. 

"It is a great result to win here," he said about his ninth F1 victory. "I am incredibly happy. We have not had an opportunity to push them so far this season."
