The 2025 Formula 1 season hits its halfway mark with one of the crown jewels on the calendar—the British Grand Prix—set to light up Silverstone once again.
Lando Norris enters the weekend with the wind in his sails after a standout win in Austria, putting him in prime position to chase a maiden victory on home turf.
The McLaren driver now sits just 15 points adrift of championship leader Oscar Piastri, setting up another high-stakes chapter in their team rivalry following their dramatic duel in Spielberg. Another win here would mark Norris’ first streak of back-to-back triumphs in a single season.
On the other side of the paddock, Max Verstappen finds himself navigating unfamiliar waters. A first-lap incident with Kimi Antonelli derailed his Austrian outing, and the reigning champion now trails Pisatri by 61 points.
Meanwhile, the spotlight shines bright on Lewis Hamilton, who returns to Silverstone donning Ferrari red for the first time. With 13 straight podiums at this historic circuit, the British legend will look to keep the streak alive—and perhaps grab his first top-three finish for the Scuderia in front of his home fans.
The 2025 British Grand Prix 2025 weekend is just around the corner, and for all the scheduling, TV, and streaming details you'll need to follow the action, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
