Lando Norris Wins Chaotic 2025 British Grand Prix: Top Winners and Losers from Silverstone
F1 The 2025 British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit delivered a chaotic and action-packed race, marked by heavy rain, multiple safety car deployments, and plenty of controversy. With unexpected turns and dramatic moments, let's break down who came out on top and who left feeling disappointed, including big winner Lando Norris.

The sterling performance was the 25-year-old's first win in his home Grand Prix and his second win in a row. Lando Norris was perfect in the rain-hit conditions and the numerous safety car periods. He particularly benefited from a 10-second penalty incurred by Piastri, which allowed Norris, who was running as the de facto leader in second place, to claim his rightful spot atop the leaderboard and convert it into a win. Loser: Max Verstappen | Red Bull Max Verstappen red bull Max Verstappen had his second challenging week in a row, marked by a disappointing British Grand Prix, during which he lost significant positions during the race. On Lap 21, Verstappen briefly lost control of his car coming around a turn, causing him to fall dramatically from second to ninth place, even though he eventually regained control. His misfortune was also partially attributed to some gamesmanship from Piastri during a safety car restart. Ultimately, Verstappen finished the race in fifth position. After his DNF in Austria, and his tough time at Silverstone, the drivers' championship is almost out of reach.

Hülkenberg finished the race in third place, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton, whose consecutive podium finish streak at his home track ended. It was Hülkenberg's 239th F1 race and his first trip to the podium in 5,593 days as a racecar driver was a big story. For Sauber, it was also a massive win as they continue to work their way up the midfield bunch in 2025, securing their first trip to the podium in 13 years. Winner & Loser: Oscar Piastri | McLaren oscar piastri british grand prix mclaren Oscar Piastri had a mixed day at Silverstone, demonstrating both a fast and excellent performance, as well as a costly error. On the one hand, Piastri showed immense pace, battling with Lando Norris for the lead and being held off only narrowly for the win. Despite a penalty, he still came out on stronger footing in the battle for the drivers' championship compared to Max Verstappen, who finished fifth. The safety car restart strategy chosen by Piastri resulted in his loss of a potential victory, ultimately costing him the win. The race officials imposed a 10-second penalty on him because he reduced his speed before speeding up when the safety car departed. The penalty Piastri received during his pit stop in the last 10 laps of the race cost him the win and allowed Norris to take the checkered flag. Loser: Lewis Hamilton & Ferrari lewis hamilton british grand prix Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari were a disappointment at the 2025 British Grand Prix, as they were unable to capitalize on a strong showing and secure a podium finish. Hamilton finished P4, nearly joining his countryman Lando Norris on the podium but ultimately missing out. Although Hamilton had a strong record at Silverstone, winning there last year and tying for the second-most all-time wins at the track, the British Grand Prix was highlighted as a potential opportunity for him to collect his first checkered flag with Ferrari. However, this did not materialize, indicating a missed opportunity for both Hamilton and the Ferrari team to secure a top-three finish or a win at this event. Charles Leclerc followed his miserable qualifying rounds with a P14, finishing ahead of only Yuki Tsunoda.
