F1 2022: Lenovo British Grand Prix

Silverstone is the next stop for the F1 22 season with the Lenovo British Grand Prix.

As the lights went off, the race begins with a tragic twist. Rookie driver Zhou Guanyu tragically crashed at the start of the race and was hospitalized. Thankfully, he survived and he's undergoing treatment. As the race restarts, it's an all-out gamble for Carlos Sainz Jr. as he's fighting against the opposition to turn his pole position into a win. As the race reached Lap 21, Valtteri Bottas retires after his car experienced gearbox failures. In addition, Lap 39 saw Esteban Ocon experiencing problems, triggering a safety car. As the race resumes, Sainz goes all-out.
