Lando Norris Wins British GP, Narrows Championship Gap to Piastri

Lando Norris achieved a significant victory at the British Grand Prix held at Silverstone, capitalizing on a rare error by his dominant McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri, who was handed a 10-second penalty for abruptly slowing on track. This win marked Norris's fourth of the season and his first consecutive victory, narrowing the championship gap to just eight points behind Piastri. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton, now racing for Ferrari, missed out on a potential pole position due to a late mistake but remains a strong contender with a history of podium finishes at Silverstone. The race weekend also recalled a lighter moment from 2022 when Norris was unexpectedly hit in the face by a space hopper thrown by former teammate Daniel Ricciardo during a playful pre-race event. Despite that incident, Norris has consistently performed well at Silverstone, finishing second and third in recent years, and is now a leading figure in the championship battle. The McLaren team’s internal rivalry and Norris's resilience have made the British Grand Prix a memorable and pivotal event in the 2025 Formula One season.
