Vasseur: “More than happy with Leclerc’s victory, a shame for the SC which remained on the track, Hamilton had the softs”

Ferrari took Silverstone After Barcelona, ​​Ferrari won in Great Britain at Silverstone, immediately redeeming the bad weekend at the Red Bull Ring. Charles Leclerc ended a long fast that had lasted since the 2024 United States GP. The Monegasque returned to the top step of the podium with a bit of luck as Andrea Kimi Antonelli seemed headed towards overtaking and victory before the final technical problem. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur commented on Leclerc’s victory to Sky: “Charles received a lot of criticism, but he knew that the team was at his side and that we would continue to push. We have enormous faith in Charles and I am more than happy today to see him on the top step of the podium.” “It’s a shame about the Safety Car which remained on the track on the last lap because Hamilton was on soft tyres,” added Vasseur regarding the fact that Hamilton could have completed a one-two by attacking Russell who was riding used mediums in what on paper looked like it would have been the last lap of the GP without the neutralization which instead continued until the checkered flag.
