Norris Wins British GP, McLaren Tightens Title Race

Lando Norris won the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, narrowing the championship points gap to teammate Oscar Piastri, who received a penalty for excessively slowing behind the safety car. Max Verstappen started on pole and remains in title contention, but McLaren's drivers are now leading the championship battle. Wet track conditions created unpredictability, with Piastri losing a potential victory after a 13-second lead due to his safety car error. Norris showed resilience and speed, now trailing Piastri by only eight points in the standings. Nico Hulkenberg achieved an emotional podium finish. Amid the race drama, Red Bull principal Christian Horner reiterated Verstappen’s stated commitment to the team for 2026, despite swirling rumors.
