Norris Wins British GP, Hülkenberg Makes History

Nico Hülkenberg ended his record 239-race wait for a Formula 1 podium by finishing third at a chaotic, rain-affected British Grand Prix at Silverstone, driving for Sauber and boosting the team up the Constructors' standings. Starting 19th on the grid, Hülkenberg executed a strong race with strategic calls and steady driving, holding off Lewis Hamilton in the closing laps. His podium was celebrated by his team and family, including his daughter Noemi. Lando Norris won his first home race, capitalizing on a 10-second penalty given to McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri for a safety car infringement, which intensified their championship battle. The event featured unpredictable weather, several safety cars, and dramatic changes in race positions, with Max Verstappen finishing fifth and George Russell rounding out the top ten. Hülkenberg's feat also transferred the record for most F1 starts without a podium to Adrian Sutil.
