Carlos Sainz claimed Formula 1 victory for the first time at the British Grand Prix, former team-mate Lando Norris joking it was “about time”.

With the Ferrari F1-75 firing the Scuderia back into the picture at the top of the pack, it meant that this season would be Sainz’s best opportunity yet to become a grand prix winner.

It was not a smooth road to that destination, but Sainz has finally reached it, converting pole position into victory at a thrilling 2022 British Grand Prix.

It was Sainz’s time with McLaren that laid the foundations for a move to Ferrari, Norris his team-mate in papaya for the 2019 and 2020 seasons as the duo built up a strong bond.
