Meanwhile, the Mexican Sergio "Checo" Pérez, of Red Bull, recovered thanks to a safety car after being in last place in the first laps of the GP.
With that, he finished in second place and was voted the driver of the day.
The podium was completed by Lewis Hamilton, from Mercedes, who also achieved the fastest lap of the race.
The British GP was overshadowed in the first round of the competition, after a serious accident was recorded where the car of Guanyu Zhou, of the Alfa Romeo team, turned and skidded many meters.
The car's security halo was undoubtedly key to Zhou making it out alive and being released quickly.
Update: Zhou Guanyu has been declared fit and released from the Medical Center.
