Summary
Charles Leclerc converted a difficult Silverstone weekend into victory, saying he had found new comfort with Ferrari’s SF-26 after a run of scrutiny and uneven form.
Ferrari backed that up with third for Lewis Hamilton, turning a track it expected to struggle at into a strong points haul despite losing a potential 1-2 with Hamilton’s late pitstop.
Kimi Antonelli finished 16th after another costly setback, slashing his championship cushion as George Russell took second and moved to within a race win’s worth of the lead.
Max Verstappen retired with another rear-wing failure that he called “super dangerous,” adding to Red Bull reliability concerns after his recent Austria crash.
The race still ended under the safety car after the late incident, leaving fans frustrated that no final-lap restart materialized.
