LimitlessDraco3 won Silverstone E2 from fourth for Red Bull. Rizla recovered from seventh to second for Mercedes, with sirspinsal0t rising from eighth to third for Aston Martin.
Rizla's P2 moved the championship total to 117 points, 21 ahead of BBLDRiZZY6523. The winner changed, but the leader strengthened the position.
Five places protect the championship
Limitless gained three places to win; Rizla gained five to finish second. The latter movement prevented a non-winning weekend from becoming a title setback.
The constructors' contest was far tighter. VCARB led Aston Martin 134-132, leaving only two points between the leading teams despite neither winning at Silverstone.
Different leaders, different margins
Rizla held 21 points in the driver contest; VCARB held two in the constructor contest. The same E2 weekend therefore sent two very different pressure levels toward Brazil.
Limitless owned the top step, Rizla the championship cushion and VCARB the narrow team lead. Silverstone's E2 result resisted a single protagonist—and was better for it.
