Nico Hulkenberg Ends F1 Podium Drought at British GP

News summary

Nico Hulkenberg finally ended the longest podium-less streak in Formula 1 history by finishing third at the 2025 British Grand Prix, marking his first-ever podium after 239 race starts. Driving for Sauber, Hulkenberg executed a brilliant strategy in a challenging mixed-weather race at Silverstone, starting from the last row and fending off pressure from Lewis Hamilton late in the race to secure the final podium spot. His achievement not only redeemed his long career as a consistent midfield driver but also earned Sauber its first podium since 2012. Lando Norris claimed his first home victory at the race, with teammate Oscar Piastri finishing second despite a 10-second penalty that cost him the lead. Hulkenberg described his podium moment as surreal and revealed he was in denial during the closing stages as Hamilton closed in aggressively. This milestone for Hulkenberg also shifted the record for most race starts without a podium to former driver Adrian Sutil.
