Leclerc started on the front row, stayed in the fight, and delivered when the pressure was at its highest. This is a massive result for Ferrari after their Austria disappointment, and it gives Maranello a huge boost in the 2026 F1 season. SAFETY CAR CONTROVERSY But this race will not just be remembered for the winner. The British GP finished under the Safety Car after Max Verstappen crashed late in the race, denying fans the final-lap fight many expected. That is where the controversy begins. Should race control have been able to restart the Grand Prix? Was the Safety Car handled correctly? And did the ending rob Silverstone of the grandstand finish it deserved? RUSSELL AND HAMILTON PODIUM George Russell finished second for Mercedes after another strong result in his title fight. Lewis Hamilton completed the podium for Ferrari at his home Grand Prix, giving the Silverstone crowd a huge moment even if it was not the win many had hoped for. Hamilton’s race included drama, penalties and pressure, but third place still gives Ferrari a double podium on one of the biggest weekends of the year. ANTONELLI TROUBLE Kimi Antonelli started from pole after a brilliant qualifying performance, but his race unravelled. After winning the Sprint and taking pole, Antonelli looked like the driver to beat, but car trouble and late-race problems dropped him out of the fight. That could be a huge moment in the championship, especially with Russell closing the gap. VERSTAPPEN CRASH Max Verstappen’s late crash changed everything. Red Bull looked set for a major result, but the incident brought out the Safety Car and ended any chance of a final racing lap. For Verstappen, it is another frustrating chapter in a difficult season. For the race, it created the ending everyone will be debating. FERRARI STATEMENT Ferrari needed a response at Silverstone, and they got one. Leclerc wins, Hamilton finishes on the podium, and Ferrari leave the British GP with momentum.
