Leclerc wins in Silverstone, Antonelli halted by mechanical failure
Charles Leclerc of Ferrari won the British Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit after a turbulent race in which both championship leader Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen ran into trouble. The Monegasque finished ahead of George Russell in the Mercedes and third-placed Lewis Hamilton in the second Ferrari. Der Standard ↗
The race began with significant changes in the order. Antonelli, who had previously dominated both the sprint and qualifying, made a good start, but after applying too much throttle his Mercedes slid. Nevertheless, he remained in contention for the win until a technical problem appeared on his car. According to available reports, his Mercedes was damaged or failed at a time when he was fighting for the top positions, and the Italian dropped down the order. Die Zeit ↗
Verstappen also had problems. The Red Bull driver entered the race under pressure after a weaker qualifying session, and toward the end of the race he ended up in the gravel, with several reports indicating he ultimately retired. At one stage he battled with Hamilton, but the result confirmed the difficult period Red Bull is going through as it tries, under the leadership of Laurent Mekies, to return to winning form. n-tv ↗
The finish of the British Grand Prix was decided roughly eight laps before the end, opening the way for Leclerc to victory. The result helped Ferrari to a significant success on British soil, while Mercedes and Red Bull will have to address both technical and performance issues after Silverstone ahead of the season's remaining races.
