The checkered flag waves on the circuit Silverstone that he sees triumph Max Verstappen. For the sixth consecutive time, the Red Bull driver finished the race ahead of everyone.
Max elusive, McLaren spectacular
SuperMax concludes his race immediately behind Lando Norris. A McLaren reborn after updates it allowed him to keep Verstappen for the first few laps, but then the #1 showed his true pace by extending in his own way. Fourth an extraordinary one Oscar piastri. Despite having orders to stay behind his teammate, Oscar managed to stay very close to Norris even when Verstappen dug a gap with the others. After the Safety Car, Piastri found himself immediately behind Lewis Hamilton, who then finished in third. Overall, the English team's race was fabulous.
Perez in comeback, Mercedes ok, Ferrari bad
The podium, together with Verstappen and Norris, closes it Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion decides to stay out to wait for a Safety which then actually arrives. The Briton makes the pit stop and manages to stay in front of everyone, in P3. Fifth position for the other black arrow of George Russell. Still fighting with Leclerc, after the pit stop (with the lead compound) he easily passes him and runs away. At the restart he tries to overtake Piastri, but fails and subsequently fails to keep up with the Australian.
Sixth position at the finish line for Sergio Perez. His comeback today, despite having a Red Bull, it wasn't very easy. Furthermore, he was certainly helped by the Safety Car.
However, it is very disappointing Classic Ferrari for sale, which concludes in P9 to Charles Leclerc and in P10 to Carlos Sainz. The Red, instead of wanting to dare, seemed not to want to risk anything. The soft tyre, although it proved to be an excellent compound, was categorically good excluded from the strategies of the Maranello team. It is true, however, that this would have been the race more difficult of the calendar and from next weekend we should review the real Ferrari.
Behind everyone compact
Concluding the Top 10 we find Fernando Alonso in P7 ed Alexander albon in P8. Fairly anonymous race for the Aston driver, who always defended himself from the attacks of the others, only to be quite lucky with the retirement of Magnussen. Another excellent performance offered by the Thai who now seems to be driving one Williams returned to life.
All under second, all close, this is the F1 we would like to have.
