Lewis Hamilton took pole for Saturday's sprint race, but got passed by Kimi Antonelli at about the midway point and had to settle for second at his home race.
For the main race, Kimi took pole ahead of the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis, and the other Mercedes of George Russell. Kimi had a poor start and was passed by both Ferraris. He didn't get ahead of Lewis until lap 11. Kimi then stayed out while the other leaders pitted. That led to a great 3-way battle between Lewis, George and Max Verstappen.
When Kimi finally changed his tires he came out behind Charles. The new tires helped Kimi catch Charles quickly, but then on lap 41 he got a loose piece of the car affecting his steering. By the time the team managed to clear it, Kimi was out of contention.
On lap 48 (of 52) Max crashed out of third place bringing out a full safety car. Both Ferraris pitted for new soft tires, but sadly we were deprived of a last lap shoot-out as the race finished under the safety car. The cars in F1 don't refuel, so they can't extend the race like they can in NASCAR. At the flag it was Charles ahead George, Lewis and the McLaren of Lando Norris. Just like the sprint race, the British drivers could only manage second, third and fourth! Race highlights are here.
There's now two-week gap until the Belgian Grand Prix (sorry, but I had to mention Belgium ).
