The British Grand Prix has rolled into town, marking the midway point of a thrilling 2025 Formula 1 campaign—and there’s plenty of fire left in the furnace.
Lando Norris arrives at Silverstone riding high after a statement win in Austria, putting him within striking distance of his maiden home victory.
The McLaren ace now trails championship leader Oscar Piastri by just 15 points, and the stage is set for another mouthwatering showdown between the teammates after their blockbuster battle in Spielberg. If Norris takes the checkered flag again, it would mark the first time he’s strung together back-to-back wins in a single season.
Meanwhile, Max Verstappen finds himself in unfamiliar territory, 61 points adrift drivers' championship leader Piastri. To get his title bid back on track, the Dutchman needs nothing short of a miracle—and maybe a little mayhem up front.
But Silverstone might just belong to another legend. All eyes are on Lewis Hamilton, making his first British Grand Prix appearance in Ferrari red. One year removed from a fairy-tale win at this very track, the seven-time world champion is chasing his 14th straight podium at his home circuit.
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.
