What happened: Ferrari signaled the start of British Grand Prix race week, with the Silverstone round next on the Formula 1 calendar. The look-ahead comes on the heels of the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, where George Russell took the win ahead of Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli.

Why it matters: Silverstone is among the most demanding and prestigious venues on the schedule, and Ferrari heads there after a measured day in Austria. Lewis Hamilton came home fifth and Charles Leclerc eighth at the Red Bull Ring, leaving the team chasing a sharper result in Britain.

By the numbers: Austria, top five: Russell, Verstappen, Antonelli, Oscar Piastri, Hamilton. Leclerc started second but finished eighth; Lando Norris ended seventh after qualifying outside the top five.

What to watch: Watch how Ferrari's pace translates at Silverstone, where Hamilton and Leclerc look to convert qualifying into a stronger Sunday finish.
