A record Silverstone crowd booed the farcical conclusion to Sunday's British Grand Prix which ended behind a safety car amid a "software error".
Charles Leclerc claimed his first win in almost two years for Ferrari, with George Russell second and Lewis Hamilton completing the podium. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli failed to score after he damaged his Mercedes.
A safety car had been deployed with four laps left after Max Verstappen crashed out from third.
The stage appeared set for a thrilling one-lap finale as a message was relayed that the safety car would be in at the end of the 51st of 52 racing laps.
However, it was sent by the governing FIA in error – because the unlapped cars had not completed a full lap – and a grandstand finish was scrubbed off.
