What time does the F1 race start today? TV channel, starting grid for 2025 British Grand Prix image

The British Grand Prix this weekend marks the halfway point of an exciting 2025 Formula 1 season, and there is still a lot of fire left in the furnace.

Following an impressive victory in Austria, Lando Norris is in a strong position to win his first home race when he arrives at Silverstone.

Following their thrilling battle in Spielberg, the McLaren ace now trails championship leader Oscar Piastri by just 15 points, setting the stage for another tantalizing matchup between the teammates.

Max Verstappen, meanwhile, is in uncharted territory as he finds himself third in the driver standings, 61 points off leader Piastri. 

But at the British GP, all eyes will be on Lewis Hamilton as he competes in Ferrari red for the first time at Silverstone. The seven-time world champion is aiming for his 14th consecutive podium at his home circuit.
