2026 Formula 1 world championship standings after the British Grand Prix
The 2026 F1 championship standings after the British Grand Prix
George Russell closed to within 25 points of Kimi Antonelli in a dramatic British Grand Prix.
Russell finished second at Silverstone after suffering a puncture, which forced him to take a second stop.
However, after team-mate and Championship leader Kimi Antonelli suffered a failure of his own and dropped out of the points, Russell was able to recover to finish second.
Lewis Hamilton crossed the line in third place, but has a post-race investigation hanging over him after Lando Norris reported that the seven-time champion was passing drivers under yellow flags. A five-second penalty would drop him out of the points entirely.
Charles Leclerc moved up several places with his first win of the season.
