Hamilton kept the lead at the start, but Antonelli passed him on lap eight and won the 17-lap sprint by 2.745 seconds. Hamilton said Mercedes' deployment advantage made it difficult to keep Antonelli outside the one-second window for Overtake mode.

Despite losing the lead, Hamilton welcomed Ferrari's progress and said the team had been more competitive than he expected at Silverstone. Leclerc finished fifth after a poor start.
