Race Recap

Charles Leclerc took victory at the British Grand Prix for Ferrari, moving up from P2 on the grid. An 89 OVR performance grade confirms a dominant weekend. Russell finished second for Mercedes, with Hamilton completing the podium.

The Decisive Factor

Hamilton's tire management (87 TIR) was the difference: preserving pace deep into stints when others fell away.

Championship Impact

In the championship picture, Antonelli leads the title race with a 100% win probability. Antonelli leads Russell by 102 points in the standings.

Survival Race

It was a race of attrition, with 3 drivers failing to see the checkered flag. Among the casualties: Verstappen (P7).

Pole sitter Kimi Antonelli couldn't convert qualifying pace into a race result, finishing P15. A strong 91 QUA qualifying grade highlights the one-lap speed that didn't translate to race pace.
