Carlos Sainz Jr., Williams (P12) 6/10
There’s not much to say about Sainz’ 52 laps around the historic Silverstone Circuit. He largely stayed out of trouble and avoided the chaos ensuing all around him, but didn’t really have the pace to cement himself inside the top ten. He managed to climb up into the minor points positions after the second Safety Car, but ultimately fell backwards from that point onwards to finish in 12th.
Oliver Bearman, Haas (P11) 6/10
A bit of a scruffy race for the Briton at his home race, but Bearman deserves credit for placing his decidedly average Haas in the top ten during Saturday’s Qualifying session. Unfortunately the teenager had a ten-place grid penalty to serve and thus started in P18, and had a couple of spin-inducing contacts with Tsunoda and Ocon during the race. Even so, Bearman displayed great pace and almost finished in the points despite his off-track moments.
