Norris Wins British GP, Hulkenberg Earns First Podium

Lando Norris claimed his first British Grand Prix victory at Silverstone, edging out McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, whose 10-second penalty for a safety car infringement was pivotal. Norris, now just eight points behind Piastri in the drivers’ championship after consecutive wins, sustained a minor nose injury post-race when accidentally struck by a photographer but quickly reassured fans. Nico Hulkenberg achieved his maiden Formula 1 podium in his 239th race, climbing from 19th to finish third for Sauber in rain-affected conditions. Mercedes supplied champagne to Sauber for the unexpected celebration. The results have intensified the drivers’ title fight and highlighted both Norris’s momentum and Hulkenberg’s perseverance, with the McLaren rivalry taking center stage this season.
