    Formula 1: Hulkenberg Claims First Podium, Norris Wins British GP

    By IANS News July 06, 2025 • 21:50 PM View: 376
    British Grand Prix: Nico Hulkenberg was the standout story of the 2025 British Grand Prix, claiming a long-awaited first Formula 1 podium in his 239th race start. The Kick Sauber driver delivered a stunning performance at Silverstone, charging from 19th on the grid to finish third in a dramatic, weather-affected race. His achievement came on an afternoon filled with action, changing conditions, and emotional highs for several drivers – including home hero Lando Norris.

    Norris secured his first victory in front of his home crowd with a commanding drive in front of a jubilant British crowd. Starting behind polesitter Max Verstappen, the McLaren driver capitalized as rain began to fall early in the race. Teammate Oscar Piastri initially took the lead from Verstappen, but the Australian’s race was later compromised by a 10-second penalty for slowing excessively under the Safety Car.

    Multiple Safety Car periods disrupted the flow of the race, including one following a spin by Verstappen, which dropped the Red Bull driver down the order. As the track dried and teams switched to slick tyres, Piastri served his penalty in the pits, allowing Norris to take the lead. From there, he remained unchallenged, crossing the line 6.812 seconds ahead of Piastri to seal a McLaren one-two.
