Lando Norris claims his first F1 victory at Silverstone, with teammate Piastri second and Hulkenberg third in a rain-soaked race.

In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Lando Norris clinched his first Formula 1 victory at the 2025 British Grand Prix, held at the iconic Silverstone circuit. The McLaren driver triumphed on home soil, crossing the finish line ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri, who secured a commendable second place despite a 10-second penalty for sharp braking behind the safety car while leading the race.

Nico Hulkenberg celebrated a milestone of his own, achieving his first-ever podium finish in his 239th F1 race, taking third for Sauber after starting from a challenging 19th position. This marked Sauber`s first top-three finish since 2012, a significant achievement for the team. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton, racing for Ferrari, finished fourth, ending his remarkable streak of podium finishes at Silverstone since 2014. His teammate Charles Leclerc struggled, finishing 14th and outside the points.

The race, marred by heavy rain and multiple incidents, saw defending champion Max Verstappen, who started on pole, finish fifth after a spin at a safety-car restart. Other notable finishers included Lance Stroll (6th), Pierre Gasly (7th), and Fernando Alonso (8th). The event was a testament to McLaren`s resurgence and Ferrari`s ongoing struggles, as Hamilton`s podium record came to a disappointing end.
