Kimi Raikkonen was the 'villain' - which is not a usual sight - at the 2018 British Grand Prix. At Lewis Hamilton's home track, a circuit where he's demonstrated immense grit in the past, winning his last race here in 2017, the home-favourite began with a strong pole.

In doing so, his arch-rival, Sebastian Vettel would begin from second but within seconds of the five red lights going green, Raikkonen and Hamilton would come to blows at around Turn Two for no fault of the Mercedes driver.

While Raikkonen was rightly punished with a 10-second penalty, in what many thought could've been a little less severe, Vettel was the biggest gainer, in not only grabbing the lead of the race but holding on to it for a comfortable win.

All Hamilton could do was manage a second. But in displaying a fantastic recovery having fallen back at the end of the grid at one point, he got momentum back on his side
