Charles Leclerc Brings Ferrari Back to Silverstone - But Lewis Hamilton Still Owns This Circuit

The 2026 British Grand Prix marked a special moment for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari.

After a brilliant performance at Silverstone, Leclerc claimed his first victory at one of Formula 1's most historic circuits. It was more than just another race win - it was Ferrari's first British Grand Prix victory since Carlos Sainz Jr. won at Silverstone in 2022, ending a four-year wait for the Scuderia at this legendary venue.

For Ferrari fans, it was a welcome return to the top step of the podium.

However, when people talk about Silverstone, one name stands above all others.

Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton is the undisputed king of the British Grand Prix, having won an incredible nine times at Silverstone - more than any other driver in Formula 1 history.

His victories came in 2008, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024, making Silverstone his personal fortress.

That makes Ferrari's current driver lineup even more fascinating.

Leclerc has now given Ferrari its first Silverstone victory since 2022, while his teammate Hamilton remains the most successful driver ever to race at the circuit.

One driver represents Ferrari's present.

The other is already part of Silverstone's history.

Could Hamilton claim a remarkable tenth victory at Silverstone in Ferrari red?

Or will Leclerc continue building his own legacy at the home of British motorsport?

Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Ferrari now has two drivers capable of writing new chapters in Silverstone's rich history.
