Verstappen also wins at Silverstone, Norris and Hamilton on the podium. Anonymous Ferraris: Leclerc 9th, Sainz 10th

SILVERSTONE – Try again, you will be luckier. Do you remember the note that came out of chewing gum in the seventies? Well, this is more or less yet another message from Max Verstappen from Silverstone, after the eighth victory (sixth in a row) out of ten races. And ten out of ten are the victories of Red Bull, his team. Verstappen gets his hands on the third consecutive world championship: 99 points ahead of teammate Perez, today only sixth.

Shall we say it? It was also the most boring GP of the season, and luckily this is the most iconic circuit of Formula 1, the homeland of engines. It happens sometimes. The excitement and joy was more for Brad Pitt and the cast of the film, and for the other VIPs (including Guardiola) who visited the paddock.

On the track, nothing exciting apart from the first lap, when Lando Norris he showed he wasn’t subjected to psychological subjection and overtook Verstappen at the start amidst the roar of the crowd. But it lasted for the space of a morning, of course.

And the Ferrari? Ninth, and tenth. The respective locations of Leclerc And Sainz they already say it all, and therefore the Austrian podium of the Monegasque did not have continuity. We could talk about the confused strategy of the Reds who called Leclerc too early, or the mistake in the corners at the end of Sainz who lost three positions in one fell swoop, but the structural problems are others, even assuming that the English circuit is not among those that help the characteristics of the SF23.

In conclusion, English party for the two home drivers on the podium: Norris second and Hamilton third. But the team that wins the palm of the day is McLaren whose progress is there for all to see and is managed by an Italian principal, Antonio Stella.
