Michael Schumacher led for the rest of the race, claiming his seventh victory of the season and 60th of his career. Despite losing control of his Ferrari halfway through the race, Barrichello finished second, 14.5 seconds behind. The Grand Prix result increased Michael Schumacher's World Drivers' Championship lead to 54 championship points. Barrichello's second-place finish moved him from fourth to second while Montoya's third-place result kept him in third.

He drove the spare Jordan car for the rest of qualifying and was 17th. Bernoldi took 18th, citing improved handling balance on each of his runs. Irvine was the faster Jaguar driver in 19th. Webber qualified 20th despite a minor gearbox issue in his Minardi. On his first run, De la Rosa had a water leak that poured coolant over his race car's rear tyres. He then lost a lot of time in the pit lane while Jaguar sought to solve an electrical misfire. He drove the spare Jaguar setup for teammate Irvine, qualifying 21st within the 107% limit in the final minute. For the second time in 2002, Webber's teammate Alex Yoong did not lap within 107% of Montoya's pole time in his Minardi car by two-tenths of a second.6 July 2002 Yoong Fails to Qualify Again https://www.atlasf1.com/news/2002/jul/report.php/id/7889/.html 9 August 2025 AtlasF1 This was attributed to him losing a lot of time in high-speed turns and potentially not having power steering. The stewards rejected Minardi's request for Yoong to enter the race, citing "no exceptional circumstances".

On lap two, Barrichello overtook Irvine for 13th. Räikkönen passed Ralf Schumacher into Copse corner for third on the following lap. Coulthard also tried unsuccessfully to pass Ralf Schumacher after Schumacher held him off. Barrichello passed Bernoldi for 12th, then battled Panis on the pit straight, passing him for 11th. On lap five, Barrichello passed Heidfeld for ninth, while Fisichella dropped behind Frentzen and Webber to 18th. Michael Schumacher closed the gap on Montoya and began attacking him for the lead. Montoya was slow to exit Stowe corner, but he was able to hold off Michael Schumacher on the outside into Club turn by pushing him wide. Barrichello passed Villeneuve and Salo to move into eighth while lapping quicker than any other driver.7 July 2002 Lapwatch: British Grand Prix https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2110520.stm live https://web.archive.org/web/20020805035517/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2110520.stm 5 August 2002 10 August 2025 BBC Sport As the rain became heavier and the track became more slippery, Salo spun out at turn one but rejoined the track thanks to the tarmac run-off area, dropping from eighth to eleventh on lap eight. The battle between Montoya and Michael Schumacher allowed Räikkönen to close up to the two leaders. On lap ten, Michael Schumacher was fast leaving Stowe corner but Montoya held him off. On that lap, Webber lost control of his car's rear and it snapped sideways while braking owing to a clutch fault.

On lap 11, Barrichello attempted but failed to pass Button at Abbey turn. He attempted to overtake Button again down the pit straight on the next lap but failed. The rain became heavier on the same lap and drivers lifted spray from the circuit. Montoya slipped on the damp track, but Michael Schumacher was too far away to take advantage. Drivers began making pit stops to change from dry to rain tyres at the end of lap 13. Bridgestone drivers used intermediate tyres while Michelin runners used full wet compounds. Räikkönen passed Michael Schumacher on the lap just as both drivers and Montoya entered the pit lane. McLaren were not prepared for Räikkönen due to radio interference from commentators for foreign digital television channels jamming their frequency. This moved Coulthard to the lead but drove slowly on the damp track because he was on dry tyres.Allsop Derick 8 July 2002 Schumacher the master in treacherous conditions https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-independent-schumacher-the-master-in/178503114/ 10 August 2025 The Independent 5 Newspapers.comEason Kevin 8 July 2002 Schumacher reigns supreme in all weathers; Motor racing: British Grand Prix https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A88591495/GPS?u=wikipedia&sid=bookmark-GPS&xid=25d46acc subscription 10 August 2025 The Times 25 Gale Academic OneFile Montoya retook the lead from Coulthard on lap 14 and Michael Schumacher took second shortly after. Trulli moved into third as Coulthard entered the pit lane two laps later. On lap 16, Montoya's lead was erased because the Michelin full wet tyres performed worse on the wet track than the Bridgestone intermediates. This meant Michael Schumacher was three seconds a lap faster than Montoya, who lost cornering grip and ran wide at Abbey corner, allowing Schumacher past on the inside for the lead. Michael Schumacher began pulling away from Montoya. Barrichello overtook Trulli for third on the same lap. On lap 17, Salo pulled over onto the grass to retire with a drivetrain failure. Button lost fifth to Ralf Schumacher, then sixth to Räikkönen at Stowe turn on the same lap. Two laps later, Räikkönen overtook Ralf Schumacher for fifth on the inside into Bridge corner. Frentzen overcame Button's defence of seventh to pass him on the pit straight on that lap. On lap 20, Barrichello moved in on Montoya and passed him for second at the exit of Luffield turn due to improved traction. Frentzen was pursuing Ralf Schumacher for sixth as both drivers were coming along the Hangar Straight, when his engine failed, pulling off onto the grass to retire. On lap 22, Räikkönen passed Trulli for fourth while Villeneuve overtook Button for seventh a lap later. By lap 23, the rain had subsided and the circuit was drying out. This prompted Coulthard to make an unexpected pit stop for dry tyres on lap 24, but McLaren was unprepared, and the refuelling equipment initially failed to connect. A similar situation happened to his teammate Räikkönen on lap 25. Irvine spun at the exit of Stowe turn on the same lap, going across the grass before removing the front wing hit the tyre barrier. Renault called their drivers into the pit lane for dry tyre changes on lap 26, with Trulli being serviced first and Button second. Massa overtook Bernoldi for sixth on the next lap. Heavy rain returned to the circuit on lap 28. On lap 29, Coulthard struggled with grip and skidded onto the grass at Bridge Corner, as Ralf Schumacher attempted to lap him without delaying him.Benson Andrew 7 July 2002 Coulthard rues bad decisions https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2114530.stm live https://web.archive.org/web/20021015221228/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2114530.stm 15 October 2002 10 August 2025 BBC Sport He hit a polysterene marker board and spun towards the track's centre. Bernoldi pulled off the circuit on lap 31 due to a drivetrain failure, forcing him to retire. On the next lap, Trulli retired on the grass with an electrical fault causing his gearbox to independently downshift and affect his traction control system. Barrichello spun through 360 degrees at Abbey corner after mounting the damp kerbing. He remained second due to his significant lead behind Montoya. Ralf Schumacher made his second pit stop on lap 32, however the refuelling system failed and the nozzle valve did not open, resulting in no fuel entering his car. He fell from fourth to eighth. On laps 33 and 34, both Ferrari drivers made their second fuel and tyre pit stop, remaining first and second. Villeneuve was fourth at this time, and Panis was sixth, thanks to BAR team principal David Richards' personal helicopter stationed in the air. Richards asked the pilot to send him the weather forecast at regular intervals, advising BAR on when to make pit stops. Williams brought Ralf Schumacher into the pit lane for fuel and dry tyres on lap 37, dropping from ninth to tenth. Panis closed in on Heidfeld in fifth and began duelling for the place. Coulthard made his fourth pit stop on lap 39. Flames were seen at his McLaren's rear and the team struggled with the refuelling rig. He then ran wide onto the grass and tarmac surface at Vale corner. Montoya gained on Barrichello and was 1.9 seconds behind by the time both drivers made pit stops on lap 40, around the same lap when the circuit began drying.Allen James James Allen (journalist) 8 July 2002 James Allen's race view http://www.itv-f1.com/silverstone/story/11671 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20020710220548/http://www.itv-f1.com/silverstone/story/11671 10 July 2002 10 August 2025 ITV-F1 Barrichello maintained second place over Montoya with a 6.4-second fuel stop.

At the end of lap 43, Michael Schumacher made his third pit stop from the lead for new tyres and fuel. Four laps later, Räikkönen retired when his engine failed at the exit of Club turn. Once Barrichello's tyres reached their optimum temperature, he challenged Montoya on the start/finish straight and passed him on the inside for second entering the right-hand Copse corner on lap 47, as Montoya glanced Barrichello's left-rear wheel. Williams instructed Montoya to reduce the revolutions per minute because of apparent engine issues. On lap 53, Sato drove onto the grass at the exit of Copse Corner, smoke billowing from his car's back due to an engine failure.

Villeneuve finished fourth with Panis taking fifth. Heidfeld was the final point-scorer in sixth, despite racing on tyres he felt were below temperature, causing him to understeer and have poor traction entering and leaving turns. Fisichella finished seventh, battling Heidfeld in the last laps despite a nervous car. Ralf Schumacher finished eighth, ahead of Massa in ninth, after the latter spun several times during the race. Coulthard's pace improved as the track dried, but he was 10th. De la Rosa was the last driver to cross the finish line in 11th, hampered by the rain. In total, 11 of the 21 qualifiers finished the race. Post-race The top three drivers appeared on the podium to collect their trophies and spoke to the media in the subsequent press conference. Michael Schumacher said the spectators "haven't had many occasions to enjoy victories with me in my time at Silverstone" considering his lack of British Grand Prix success but described it as "a very special race today for the circumstances".7 July 2002 Post-Race Press Conference – British GP https://www.atlasf1.com/news/2002/jul/report.php/id/7917/.html 10 August 2025 AtlasF1 He also lauded his Ferrari and attributed his victory to the tyres' performance and Brawn's strategy when the rain began falling. Barrichello called his second-place finish "a fantastic race in terms of a result because I couldn't wish for more" but thought he pushed too hard on the intermediate tyres. Montoya stated that the slick tyres appeared to work well on a damp track, and he was faster than Michael Schumacher until it dried up. Nevertheless, he said of finishing third, "it's good I got on the podium again. Yesterday's qualifying was a bit of a surprise for everybody including myself, I didn't really mind actually, but, you know, I couldn't hope for anything more." thumb|right|upright|Jacques Villeneuve contributed to British American Racing's first championship points score of the season. Villeneuve expressed his satisfaction with his team's effort and fourth-place finish, "It was important for the team. To get two cars in the points was great.

Heidfeld stated that he was pleased to earn a championship point for finishing sixth, but that his first set of grooved tyres did not reach full temperature in the first laps, despite the fact that his understeer and braking issues improved when he ran on intermediate tyres when the track was wet.7 July 2002 Heidfeld Happy with Hard-Earned Point https://www.atlasf1.com/news/2002/jul/report.php/id/7913/.html 10 August 2025 AtlasF1 Coulthard said that it had been "a terrible Grand Prix for us. It was a screw up from start to finish, and whatever could go wrong, did go wrong." He added he preferred to forget the race, "I just want to forget this year. It's been so disappointing." Michelin boss Pierre Dupasquier defended the company's tyres after drivers criticised their performance in comparison to Bridgestone's during the race, citing the "Ferrari phenomenon," which claimed Ferrari lapped three to four seconds faster than any other car on the wet track.Benson Andrew 7 July 2002 Michelin: It wasn't our fault https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2114440.stm live https://web.archive.org/web/20020807234054/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/2114440.stm 7 August 2002 10 August 2025 BBC Sport An engineer from a Michelin-shod team accused Dupasquier of "deluding himself," while its technical director Pascal Vasselon confirmed the company did not offer the appropriate tyre for the weather. In a newspaper column the day after the race, McNish voiced his dissatisfaction with his clutch failing at the start, "from my personal view, this weekend has been a big disappointment" and was just as a disappointment to him as the season-opening 2002 Australian.McNish Allan Allan McNish 8 July 2002 Such a sorry way to repay legions of fans https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-daily-telegraph-such-a-sorry-way-to/178577835/ 10 August 2025 The Daily Telegraph S3 Newspapers.com He added it was a different problem to the one that stopped him at the 2002 San Marino earlier in the season. The result meant Michael Schumacher increased his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to 54 championship points. His teammate Barrichello's second-place result moved him from equal fourth to second while Montoya remained third. Ralf Schumacher's failure to score championship points dropped him from second to fourth. Ferrari further extended their World Constructors' Championship lead to 57 championship points over Williams.
