Nico Hulkenberg Opens Up on Fending Off Lewis Hamilton's Late Charge at British GP
Nico Hulkenberg Opens Up on Fending Off Lewis Hamilton's Late Charge at British GP originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Nico Hulkenberg pulled off one of the most impressive drives of his F1 career at Silverstone, holding off a hard-charging Lewis Hamilton to clinch a stunning podium in the 2025 British GP. Advertisement It wasn't just the result that caught the eye — it was the manner of it. After starting deep in the field, Hulkenberg navigated a chaotic, rain-hit race to climb into podium contention. But the real test came in the final laps as Hamilton, spurred on by a roaring home crowd, slashed the gap. Speaking after the race, Hulkenberg admitted he felt the pressure from the seven-time world champion. 'I was thinking he's going to give it his all in front of his home crowd, and I was like, 'sorry guys, but it's also my day',' Hulkenberg said with a grin. 'It was intense. The pressure was there. But we didn't crack, made no mistakes, I'm super happy.'

He credited the team for nailing the tire calls and staying calm under fire. Advertisement 'It was a survival fight for a lot of the race,' he explained. 'I think we were really on it with the right calls, the right tyres at the right moment.' For Hulkenber, who spent years chasing that elusive first podium and only recently ended the drought, it's further validation. 'I always knew we had it in us, I had it in me, somewhere,' he said. Hamilton, meanwhile, had to settle for fourth in front of his home fans. But on a day when hulkenberg dug deep and refused to buckle, there was no denying it truly was the German's moment.

Oscar Piastri Seethes Over ‘Ridiculous' British GP Penalty
Oscar Piastri Seethes Over 'Ridiculous' British GP Penalty originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Oscar Piastri was visibly frustrated after the British GP, branding his controversial penalty behind the Safety Car as effectively 'ridiculous' though he chose his words carefully to avoid an even bigger storm. Advertisement The McLaren driver crossed the line in second at Silverstone, only to be slapped with a 10-second penalty for allegedly braking too sharply as the Safety car lights went out. That infringement cost him any realistic shot at hunting down Nico hulkenberg for the win and left him simmering when questioned post-race. 'I'm not going to say much. I'll get myself in trouble,' Piastri told Sky Sports F1, barely concealing his irritation. 'Apparently you can't brake behind the Safety Car anymore. I did it for five laps before that. I still like Silverstone, even if I don't like it today.' Oscar Piastri celebrates after winning Bahrain Grand PrixRula Rouhana/Reuters In the cooldown room with P3 holder Nico Hulkenberg, Piastri offered a blunt explanation: 'I got a 10-second penalty for braking behind the safety car. I hit the brakes basically as the lights went out, so then I didn't accelerate — apparently that gets you a 10-second penalty.' Advertisement McLaren boss Zak Brown had earlier suggested on Sky Sports that it was a messy situation. 'That was a bit of a late Safety Car call in,' Brown said. 'The leader controls the pace. I think it looked a little bit more dramatic on TV than it was on telemetry.' Despite the setback, Piastri still salvaged a valuable podium for McLaren and kept his cool enough to avoid a war of words with the FIA. But his thinly veiled frustration says it all, he knows this one got away.
