Where is the British Grand Prix taking place? Silverstone hosted the first F1 world championship race in 1950, just three years after the track was first laid out using a decommissioned World War II airfield. It remains hugely important to the sport, with most F1 teams based nearby in an area nicknamed 'motorsport valley.' Last year's British Grand Prix attracted a track-record race-day crowd of 164,000 to see Lewis Hamilton take an emotional victory in his home race. Attendance over the entire week was 480,000, organizers said.
What happened in last Sunday's race? Lando Norris was challenged throughout the Austrian Grand Prix by teammate Oscar Piastri but still held on to take the win, with Charles Leclerc third for Ferrari. It was a tough home race for Red Bull, as Max Verstappen retired on the opening lap after a collision with Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes. Piastri leads Norris by 15 points in the standings, and Verstappen is 46 further back in third.

Key stats 9 – Lewis Hamilton's ninth British Grand Prix triumph last year set an F1 record for most wins by one driver at the same track. That broke a tie with Michael Schumacher, who won eight times at the French circuit Magny-Cours. 7 – Norris and Piastri are back level on seven career wins each following Norris' victory in Austria. 31 – Verstappen had scored points in 31 consecutive Grands Prix until his first-lap retirement at the Red Bull Ring.
What they're saying 'It's still for me the experience to have my own grandstand, to have so many of my fans there supporting me, cheering me on, so very excited for it. Kind of want to go there now, but could do with a good sleep as well.' – Lando Norris looks ahead to the British Grand Prix after his win in Austria.
'It was close at some points, probably pushing the limits a bit much from my side once or twice, but we're fighting for race wins in Formula 1. It's going to be pretty tough and work pretty hard.' – Oscar Piastri looks back on his battle with Norris in Austria.

Wimbledon: Karen Khachanov Is Quarterfinalist at the All England Club in 2025
No. 17 seed Karen Khachanov reached his second Wimbledon quarterfinal by beating Kamil Majchrzak 6–4, 6–2, 6–3 on Sunday. 'To be honest, today was a really great performance – at least from my side,' said Khachanov, who finished with more than twice as many winners as unforced errors, 44–21. The Russian, also a quarterfinalist at the All England Club four years ago, will play No. 5 Taylor Fritz, the US Open runner-up last year, or Jordan Thompson next. Khachanov has been a Grand Slam semifinalist twice, at the US Open in 2022 and the Australian Open in 2023. The 109th-ranked Majchrzak was playing in a fourth-round match at a major for the first time. He was on a six-match Grand Slam losing streak before Wimbledon. Other men's matches later were two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz vs. No. 14 Andrey Rublev and Nicolas Jarry vs. Cam Norrie. The women's fourth-rounders on the Sunday schedule were No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 24 Elise Mertens, No. 13 Amanda Anisimova vs. No. 30 Linda Noskova, Sonay Kartal vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, and lucky loser Solana Sierra vs. Laura Siegemund. The quarterfinals will be set after Monday's play, which leads off at Center Court with 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic against No. 11 Alex de Minaur at 1:30 p.m. local time (8:30 a.m. ET). They were supposed to face each other in last year's quarterfinals at Wimbledon, but de Minaur was forced to withdraw before the match with a hip injury. That's to be followed by No. 7 Mirra Andreeva vs. No. 10 Emma Navarro, who eliminated 2024 champion Barbora Krejcikova in the third round, and then No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 19 Grigor Dimitrov. Others in action: Iga Swiatek, Ben Shelton, and Marin Cilic.

Arsenal sign Spain midfielder Zubimendi
LONDON: Arsenal on Sunday announced the signing of midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad after they reportedly triggered his £51 million ($70 million) release clause. Euro 2024 winner Zubimendi had previously been a target for Liverpool and was also linked with Real Madrid. 'This is a huge moment in my career,' said the defensive midfielder, who is understood to have put pen to paper on a five-year deal. 'It's the move I was looking for and one I wanted to make. As soon as you set foot here, you realize how big this club and this team are. 'I set my sights on Arsenal because their style of play is a good fit for me. They have shown their potential recently and the best is yet to come.' The BBC reported the deal is worth almost £60 million, with Arsenal opting to pay more than the release clause in order to spread the cost of the fee. Zubimendi, 26, made 236 appearances in all competitions for Sociedad after graduating from the club's academy and has played 19 times for Spain. He will reinforce manager Mikel Arteta's midfield options after Thomas Partey's contract expired and Jorginho left the club. Zubimendi's arrival paves the way for Arsenal's record-signing Declan Rice to play a more attacking midfield role alongside captain Martin Odegaard. 'Martin is a player who will bring a huge amount of quality and football intelligence to our team,' said Arteta. 'He will fit in really well and he has all the attributes to be a key player for us.' Zubimendi is Arsenal's second signing of the summer transfer window after goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga joined from Chelsea as they seek to improve on three consecutive second-placed Premier League finishes. The Gunners are also expected to complete the signing of midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford. Attention will now turn to the forward line as Arsenal try to see off Liverpool and Manchester City and claim a first league title since 2003/04. Arteta's men had to cope without a natural striker for much of last season due to long-term injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres are reportedly the two leading candidates to fill the need for a new number nine.
