Lando Norris secured his first-ever win at the British Grand Prix, cutting the gap to Oscar Piastri in the F1 standings to just eight points. The McLaren driver took full advantage of a 10-second penalty handed to his teammate Piastri for brake-testing Max Verstappen during a safety car restart.
Piastri had taken the lead early in the race after Verstappen, who started on pole, struggled with grip in the wet Silverstone conditions. However, the penalty cost him the win, allowing Norris to claim a memorable home victory.
Nico Hulkenberg finished third for Sauber, achieving his first career podium after 239 race starts. His impressive performance also helped him climb in the F1 standings, putting him ninth overall.
McLaren’s dominance continued, as the team extended its lead in the constructors’ championship. They are now in a strong position to win back-to-back titles, with Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull trailing behind.
The updated F1 standings after the British Grand Prix show Oscar Piastri still in the lead with 234 points. Norris follows closely with 226, while Verstappen sits in third with 165 points. George Russell and Charles Leclerc round out the top five with 147 and 119 points respectively.
The fight for the drivers’ championship is heating up, and all eyes will now turn to the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix at Spa later this month.
With just a few races left in the season, every point matters. Fans can expect more drama, especially as Norris looks to overtake his teammate and claim the top spot in the F1 standings.
Stay tuned as the 2025 Formula One season continues to deliver thrilling action and unexpected twists.
