Why the F1 British Grand Prix finished behind the safety car
- Australian Formula 1 fans who were up in the middle of the night thought, for a brief moment, a grandstand finish was coming to the British Grand Prix.
- A late safety car added drama to an action-packed race on Monday morning (AEST), and excitement looked set to reach a crescendo when it was called in at the end of the penultimate lap.
- But the safety car never pulled into the pit lane, leading the field around for the final lap and allowing Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to coast to victory.
