Kimi Antonelli extended his lead in the F1 Drivers' Championship standings with a thrilling victory over Lewis Hamilton in Saturday's British Grand Prix sprint race at Silverstone.

The 19-year-old Italian overtook local hero Hamilton on lap 8 of the 17-lap race after being pipped by the British legend by one hundredth of a second in Friday's qualifying session.

Antonelli now leads Mercedes team-mate George Russell by 43 points with the win, while Ferrari superstar Hamilton closes to within four points of Russell.

Max Verstappen meanwhile seems permanently entrenched in seventh position, which is significant for one major reason - the exit clause which reportedly allows him to leave Red Bull should he be outside the top two at the summer break.

The constructors' championship is still very much Mercedes' to lose with the Silver Arrows extending their lead over Ferrari to three figures.

The next available points are up for grabs in Sunday's 2026 British Grand Prix (3pm UK, live on Sky Sports F1 and live and free on Channel 4).
