We’re so ready for some more Silverstone magic ✨ https://t.co/brGPSdt1rp

What happened: Ferrari has signaled it is ready for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the next round on the 2026 Formula 1 calendar. The team heads to one of the sport's most storied circuits looking to build on its recent form.

Why it matters: Silverstone is a marquee stop that traditionally draws one of the biggest crowds of the season, raising the stakes for every frontrunning team. Ferrari arrives off the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, where George Russell won ahead of Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli, leaving the Scuderia chasing a stronger result at a track where momentum matters.

By the numbers: At the Red Bull Ring, Lewis Hamilton led Ferrari home in fifth with Charles Leclerc eighth, after Leclerc had qualified second on the grid. George Russell converted pole into victory ahead of Verstappen and Antonelli.

What to watch: Watch whether Ferrari can convert Silverstone qualifying pace into a podium and close the gap to the front over the British Grand Prix weekend.
