"A great struggle on Saturday as I started 18th and finishing ninth, congratulations to Nato for the podium," Sean said in a statement after the feature race.

Nato bagged 22 points at Silverstone, which saw him rise to sixth place in the drivers' standings, while Sean is still in 17th place with three points.

"Overall, the races were positive; hopefully this is the time for us to accelerate," Nato said.
