Immediately after the race in Austria, the F1 drivers will be the protagonists of the exciting challenge in Great Britain. If a Mercedes in great dusting was seen in Montreal with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli on the podium, the last stage of Spielberg brought the McLaren back to the top. Lando Norris won his third seasonal GP, managing to beat his teammate and leader of the ranking, Oscar Piastri.
Ferrari returned to second place in the manufacturers’ ranking, with a point of advantage over Mercedes. Charles Leclerc, in the fourth podium of the season, has made the most of the new fund and preceded Lewis Hamilton. The latter will be the special observed in England. The number 44, last year, played the ninth symphony in his home garden. Lewis Hamilton He broke a strip without victories 56 races long, definitively convincing the top of Ferrari. In this vintage Stevenage’s native did not go on the podium even once, while winning the SR in China. It is currently sixth, 125 points from the leader of the Oscar Plastri championship.
The characteristics of the English track
The Silverstone circuit is among the most technical and fun of the entire championship. Harddown on a length of 5.891 km it consists 18 curves, of which 10 on the right and 8 on the left. The first edition was ran in 1950. To perform at most you need to have an agile and very fast single -seater in your hands. We do not expect the Ferrari absolute protagonist, but the full -bodied package of updates could bring the SF-25 to the performances of the MCL39. Mercedes are a rebus, alternating great performances with anonymous results. Kimi Antonelli, after the collision in Austria with Max Verstappen, is called to give a high school response. The Bolognese will also have to deal with the penalty of three positions on the grid remedied in the last stage.
The last victory of the Cavallino a Silverstone It took place in 2022 with Carlos Sainz, now in force at Williams. In the following season Max Verstappen triumphed for the first time. The latter slipped in the ranking to -61 points from the summit. The lowest temperatures and the characteristics of the British track could help Red Bull Racing find competitiveness after a weekend in Austria by nightmare. Yuki Tsunoda ended up outside the points area, worse than the riders of the Junior Team Racing Bulls. The qualification that could confirm Ferrari second strength or project the W16 in struggle with the Papaya cars will be fundamental. Lando Norris will try to exploit the friendly atmosphere to bring the team closer to the standings.
