1 Leclerc, 2 Russell +0.427, 3 Hamilton +0.772. Antonelli P15 from pole.
Why this one matters: a championship leader starting on pole at Silverstone is supposed to bank 25 points. Antonelli banked none that counted. Leclerc won in 1:27:11.335. George Russell was 0.427 behind. Lewis Hamilton 0.772 behind. A Ferrari 1-3 with a Mercedes in the sandwich.
Antonelli's Sky Sports driver page lists Great Britain: grid 1st, finish 15th. The lead he had been building since China suddenly had a dent. Russell closed. Hamilton, already a winner in Barcelona, stood on another podium in red.
Five days later Belgium would restore the kid. This Sunday belongs to Leclerc.
The stakes
A home-soil weekend for Russell, a first 2026 win for Leclerc, a dent in Antonelli's march.
