Lando Norris secures a historic win at Silverstone, leading McLaren to a stunning one-two finish in the rain.

Lando Norris etched his name into the annals of motorsport history by clinching victory at the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, delivering a spectacular one-two finish for McLaren. The rain-soaked track bore witness to a thrilling race, where Norris crossed the line first, marking the team`s first triumph at this iconic circuit since Lewis Hamilton`s 2008 win.

Teammate Oscar Piastri, who had been poised for victory, faced a 10-second penalty for a safety car restart infringement, yet he remains a formidable force in the championship, leading with 234 points, just ahead of Norris at 226. Max Verstappen trails in third with 165 points. McLaren`s resurgence is palpable as they dominate the constructors` standings, leading Ferrari by 238 points, eyeing a double championship feat not seen since 1998 and 1991.

The race was not without drama; Nico Hulkenberg made headlines with a stunning recovery from 19th on the grid to finish third, marking his first podium after 239 starts. Post-race celebrations were lively, albeit marred by an unfortunate incident involving the unique Lego constructors` trophy. As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming 2025 Festival of Speed at Goodwood, the excitement in the UK motorsport scene continues to build.
