No better way to celebrate! - Ever since Fernando Alonso's Ferrari success, Spain haven't seen too many triumphs. It all, however, changed when Carlos Sainz joined McLaren and started scoring on the podium. At the British GP, Sainz did one better and scored his first F1 career pole position in qualifying, making it the first Spanish pole since Fernando Alonso got one in the 2012 German GP. On Sunday, he went one better when he scored the first Spanish F1 victory since Fernando Alonso at the Spanish GP in 2013.
It was so special to have Mick’s mom Corinna and sister Gina with us yesterday for Mick’s 8th place finish finally broke his duck and scored his first F1 points at Silverstone. Still, the young German did it in his 31st attempt, making the 31 races the 6th longest wait before scoring a point in Formula 1.

Max Verstappen has had an enviable record of scoring a podium in every race he has finished this season. Beyond his two DNFs in Bahrain and Australia, there's the 3rd position at Monaco and then there are the six wins.

George Russell has earned the moniker of "Mr. Consistent" because of his performances at this year. The British driver did not finish outside of the Top 5 even once in the first nine races of the season and was performing at a very high level. Yet, it all ended with his first DNF of the season on the first lap of the race.#6 Red Bull s 6-race winning streak broken by Ferrari
While there are suggestions that Ferrari might not be entirely happy with how the weekend went, they were still able to put an end to Red Bull's 6-race winning streak.
