The two interventions of the safety car means we have had a safety car at every British Grand Prix since 2013. Can Valtteri Bottas hold on to his lead and win this race for the first time after coming second twice - in 2017 with Mercedes and 2014 with Williams?

Bottas is so alert to Vettel's dummy. This is the first time we have seen this actual Mercedes-Ferrari wheel-to-wheel fight for a long a time.
Lap 46/52
Vettel is trying to get Bottas at the kink that makes up Turns Four and Five. The Finn continues to hold off - just.
Lap 45/52
Bottas, Vettel, Hamilton and Raikkonen the fornt four, and you could throw a blanket over them. Just 1.5 second split the quartet.
Decisions, decisions...
Kayleigh: Literally don’t even know who I want to win this one now!
Euan: Lap 42: The 2nd Safety Car has just gone. I am struggling to decide which I want more: a Ferrari win or Bottas to get the win he deserves.
Lap 44/52
Thrilling duelling between Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel now. Nothing in it. Vettel goes for it... Bottas hangs on through Maggots and Becketts - this is superb stuff! Who's your money on now?
