After a particularly eventful Grand Prix due to the rain, the Australian retained the lead in the world championship on Sunday at Silverstone, but now only eight points ahead of his teammate.Opportunistic victory. A week after his success in Austria, Lando Norris (McLaren) did it again on Sunday, July 6, by winning the British Grand Prix. In conditions made extremely changeable and tricky by heavy rain in the first third of the race, the Briton displayed exceptional composure, never making a mistake and winning ahead of his teammate Oscar Piastri and the surprising Nico Hülkenberg (Sauber),
who made a magnificent comeback (starting 19th), thanks to a good tire strategy, to secure his first career podium. Lando Norris, who started third on the grid, managed to master the famous Silverstone track for the first time in his career. The Briton benefited from a ten-second race penalty for excessive braking by his teammate, which came out several times during the race under the Safety Car. The McLaren driver thus secured his second consecutive victory, his fourth in 2025, bringing him within eight points of Oscar Piatri in the drivers' standings. Meanwhile, Frenchman Pierre Gasly (Alpine) had a very strong race, finishing sixth after a long period of resistance from Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari, 4th). This is the best result this season for the French driver, while young Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) was forced to retire after an accidental collision caused by near-zero visibility in a rain cloud, with Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) also among the day's five retirements.
