Recent Grand Prix Highlights
Last weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone saw Max Verstappen edge out Charles Leclerc by a tenth of a second. Verstappen’s pole‑to‑win run pushed his championship lead to 28 points, while Leclerc’s aggressive pit strategy earned him a podium finish and a morale boost for Ferrari.
In Japan, the rain turned the Suzuka circuit into a slip‑and‑slide challenge. Lewis Hamilton capitalised on the wet tires, climbing from eighth on the grid to claim his 105th career win. The victory broke a six‑race winless streak and gave Mercedes valuable points in the constructors’ battle.
Driver Standings Snapshot
As of today, the top five drivers look like this:
- Max Verstappen – 210 points
- Lewis Hamilton – 182 points
- Charles Leclerc – 165 points
- Sergio Pérez – 150 points
- Lando Norris – 138 points
The gap between Verstappen and Hamilton is narrowing, meaning the next few races could flip the leaderboard. Keep an eye on qualifying sessions because a single pole can change the whole dynamic.
What’s Next on the Calendar?
The next round kicks off in Hungary at the Hungaroring on July 28. It’s a tight, twisty track that usually favours cars with strong downforce. After Hungary, the circus heads to Belgium’s Spa‑Francorchamps – a fan favourite because of its long straights and famous Eau Rouge corner.
If you’re planning to watch live, most broadcasters stream the race on YouTube and local sports channels. Social media accounts like @F1 and team pages drop real‑time updates, so you won’t miss any overtakes or surprise pit stops.
