F1, the British GP painted in Ferrari red. Leclerc first, Hamilton third. 250th victory for Ferrari.
It could have been a magical 1-2 for the Ferrari team at Siverstone for the British GP. But at end the celebration for Maranello were huge, anyway. Maranello celebrated victory at the Silverstone Grand Prix as Charles Leclerc claimed his first win of the season, ending a drought that dated back to the 2024 United States Grand Prix. George Russell finished second for Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton taking third for Ferrari. Leclerc grabbed the lead from championship leader Kimi Antonelli at the start and controlled all the race lonf. Antonelli later dropped to 16th after a technical problem and a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits. A late Safety Car, triggered by Max Verstappen's crash into the barriers, reshuffled the order. Ferrari's strategy with deciding for an extra pit stop for Hamilton allowed Russell to move into second. Hamilton completed the podium after being able to recover after a 5 seconds penalty for a jump start. This is the 250th victory in F1 for Ferrari; the first one was again in Silverstone 75 years ago.
Ferrari introduces a manual shift for the 12Cilindri, but there is a trick
Ferrari has introduced the 12Cilindri Manuale, a unique version of its V12 grand tourer that combines classic driving with modern technology. The car features an iconic open-gated six-speed shifter and a real clutch pedal, giving it the feel of a traditional manual. However, it actually uses Ferrari's eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with the steering-wheel paddles removed. The first six gears operate as a manual, while the final two are reserved for automatic cruising. Drivers can switch instantly between manual and automatic modes with the push of a button. Ferrari says the goal is not greater performance, but a more engaging driving experience. The system lets owners enjoy the excitement of shifting gears themselves while keeping the convenience of an automatic for everyday use. All the usual driving modes remain available in both settings. By combining nostalgia with advanced engineering, the 12Cilindri Manuale offers the best of both worlds. Because of its rarity and appeal to collectors, experts believe its value could eventually reach $1 million.
