Charles Leclerc won the British Grand Prix under a safety car to win at Silverstone for the very first time. The Ferrari driver flew off the line at the start to overtake Kimi Antonelli with Lewis Hamilton also shooting up to second. The Ferraris held off Antonelli for a while but the Mercedes was quicker and swept past Hamilton at Copse corner to pile the pressure on Leclerc. Leclerc opened up a decent lead before a pit stop to switch the tyres sent Antonelli into first. With others gaining behind him, Antonelli made his stop on lap 36 but came back on track with an issue which dropped him down the grid. Antonelli fell out of the points as Max Verstappen crashed out of the race handing an advantage to his rivals. Leclerc's win take him up to fourth in the standings while Russell is now just 27 points behind Antonelli Hadjar Finishes Fifth After Composed British Grand Prix At Silverstone On Sunday. Isack Hadjar started fifth and held his place by the finish of Sunday's British Grand Prix thanks to a composed performance at Silverstone to put valuable title points on the board for Oracle Red Bull Racing. Hadjar was pushing all race, while ahead of him Dutch teammate Max Verstappen was well in the hunt for a podium place only to suffer a mishap at Stowe while chasing Lewis Hamilton for second place. Visa Cash App Racing Bulls duo Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad finished sixth and seventh to boost the team with another promising performance that leaves them sixth in the 2026 constructors' title race. Oracle Red Bull Racing ISACK HADJAR - 5th"Ultimately, I can be happy with the result. P5 is solid points for the Team, but I felt we could've had more. My pace at the start was good, and we finished strongly as well. We got off the line well and I stayed with Max in the first stint. After pitting onto the Hard we struggled and I couldn't find the grip to stay close to Lando. Throughout that middle stint I was in no man's land, so it was a little boring for me. We lost time with changing the front wing, but it took our pace back to where it was at the start and I could really push. It's a shame that we couldn't have that last lap as I had such a good feeling in the car to go out and really attack the cars ahead. Overall, I've felt comfortable in the car all weekend and feel like I've got on top of the package which is good going forwards." MAX VERSTAPPEN - DNF"It's not been the outcome we wanted from this weekend. Right from the start we struggled with balance and top speed in comparison to Isack's car. In the race, we were okay on the Medium but were struggling with pace on the Hard. We were fighting for P3 towards the end of the race but had a similar issue to Qualifying in Austria. It was a different fault with the rear wing, where it would not fully attach, meaning we lost a lot of downforce and spun off the track. I hope the coming weeks are better, and that we can sort things about before Spa." LAURENT MEKIES - CEO & Team Principal"First and foremost we must start by apologising to Max. An issue with the rear wing on his car developed in the closing stages of the race which ultimately sent him off track. It's not the first time an incident of this kind has happened, we are taking it extremely seriously and will put in place everything necessary to make sure it does not happen again. What matters tonight is that Max is okay. Looking at the race up to that point, our
