Norris Wins First Home GP, Title Race Tightens

Lando Norris claimed his first ever home victory at the 2025 British Grand Prix in Silverstone, overcoming mixed weather conditions and a dramatic race. Oscar Piastri, after leading early, received a 10-second penalty for erratic braking behind the safety car, allowing Norris to take the win and close his championship deficit to eight points. Max Verstappen, who started on pole, spun and finished fifth, remaining in title contention. Nico Hulkenberg achieved his first F1 podium in 239 starts, finishing third for Sauber. Unpredictable weather and tire strategy played a decisive role, causing difficulties for several frontrunners. The result leaves the championship tightly contested as the season moves to Spa.
