Maciej Gładysz inherited victory after Matteo De Palo’s disqualification, moving the ART Grand Prix driver into sixth in the standings.

Ugochukwu maintains 2026 F3 Championship lead after Silverstone podium
Ugochukwu entered the Feature Race with an 89-point total after winning Saturday’s Sprint Race. He then added 15 points by finishing third in the updated Feature Race classification.
As a result, the American moved to 104 points and remains at the head of the Drivers’ Championship. However, Slater’s strong Feature Race return reduced Ugochukwu’s advantage from 23 points to 18.
Ugochukwu still leaves Silverstone with a stronger championship position than he held before the weekend, having scored 26 points across the two races.
Slater closes gap after second place and pole points
Slater endured a chaotic Feature Race after starting from pole and fighting TRIDENT teammate De Palo for victory on the final lap. Although he initially dropped down the order on the road, De Palo’s disqualification and further penalties promoted Slater to second in the final classification.
The Briton added 18 points for second place and two more for pole, taking his weekend total to 86 points. Consequently, he remains second in the standings and cuts Ugochukwu’s lead to 18 points.
Théophile Naël remains third on 60 points after finishing outside the points in the final updated classification. He now trails Slater by 26 points.
Strømsted moves to fourth as Del Pino drops to fifth
Strømsted gained another position in the standings after finishing fifth in the Feature Race. The TRIDENT driver added 10 points, moving from 47 to 57.
That result lifts him from fifth to fourth, ahead of Bruno Del Pino, who failed to score and remains on 49 points.
As a result, Strømsted now sits just three points behind Naël in the fight for third. Del Pino drops to fifth and is eight points behind Strømsted.
Gładysz jumps to sixth after inherited victory
Gładysz made the biggest move in the upper half of the Drivers’ Championship after inheriting victory at Silverstone.
The ART Grand Prix driver added 25 points, moving from 19 to 44. That result lifts him from 15th to sixth in the standings. He now sits five points behind Del Pino and three points clear of Brando Badoer.
Badoer remains seventh on 41 points after finishing outside the points, while Pedro Clerot moves to eighth on 39 after taking ninth and adding two points.
Sharp, David and Le climb after strong points finishes
Louis Sharp gained ground after finishing fourth for PREMA Racing. He added 12 points, moving from 17th to 17 points and drawing closer to the midfield group.
Yevan David also continued his strong Silverstone weekend by finishing seventh. The AIX Racing driver moved from nine to 15 points, while Kanato Le climbed to 11 points after taking sixth for ART Grand Prix.
Hiyu Yamakoshi added four points for eighth and now sits ninth on 36 points. Ernesto Rivera scored two points after his penalty left him 10th, moving to 28 points and 11th in the standings.
