Lewis Hamilton signals hope for F1 race director changes after spoiled Silverstone finish

Lewis Hamilton finished third at the 2025 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, behind Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and ahead of George Russell, in a race that ended under the Safety Car. A late Safety Car period triggered by Max Verstappen's incident on Lap 48 prompted Hamilton and Leclerc to pit for Soft tyres, allowing Russell to jump Hamilton for second place. A 'software error' by Race Control on Lap 51 that erroneously signalled 'Safety Car in this lap' added to the confusion, and Hamilton expressed disappointment with the finish, calling for the FIA to use red flags for late-race incidents instead.
