Emotional Norris wins epic rain-hit British Grand Prix
"A long time coming! But we had it in us and I had it in me somewhere. It's pretty surreal. All a bit crazy now." McLaren's British driver Lando Norris lifts the first place trophy after winning the Formula One British Grand Prix at the Silverstone motor racing circuit in Silverstone, central England, on July 6, 2025. (Photo by Andrej ISAKOVIC / AFP) An emotional Lando Norris boosted his world title bid in memorable fashion on Sunday when he drove to a commanding rain-splashed victory ahead of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri in a chaotic British Grand Prix. The 25-year-old Briton made the most of series leader Piastri's mid-race misfortune, when he was given a 10-second penalty for slowing excessively while leading behind the safety car, to finish 6.8112 seconds clear. It was his first home win, his fourth win of the year and the eighth of his career, lifting him within eight points of the Australian. 'Thank you, McLaren, thanks everyone,' said Norris. 'This is beautiful. Winning at home. This is a dream.' Nico Hulkenberg finished a stirring third for Sauber to claim the first podium appearance of his long career after 239 races. 'It feels good,' the veteran German said. 'A long time coming! But we had it in us and I had it in me somewhere. It's pretty surreal. All a bit crazy now.' Piastri was careful not to express his disappointment at the time penalty verdict. 'I want to congratulate Nico,' he said. 'That's the best story of the day – but I don't want to say much else to avoid getting into trouble.' Norris became the 13th different home winner of the British race. Lewis Hamilton took fourth for Ferrari ahead of Red Bull's four-time champion Max Verstappen. In an epic event run in extreme and changeable weather conditions, Pierre Gasly was sixth for Alpine, ahead of Aston Martin's Lance Stroll, Williams' Alex Albon, two-time champion Fernando Alonso in the second Aston Martin and Mercedes' George Russell. On a cool and wet summer's day in central England, the race began as the sun slanted through the clouds following torrential rain, Verstappen leading a controlled formation lap behind the safety car. In F1's 75th anniversary year, it was the 1,173rd race since the inaugural world championship event at Silverstone on May 13, 1950, and with the field so closely-packed few races had been more keenly anticipated. Russell and Leclerc gambled on switching to slick tyres before the start as Verstappen led the opening lap from his 44th pole ahead of Piastri, Norris and Hamilton. RB's' Liam Lawson went off at Stowe on lap one, triggering a virtual safety car (VSC), and Franco Colapinto retired his Alpine after stalling in the pit-lane. The race re-started on lap five with Piastri hounding Verstappen before a second VSC intervention when Gabriel Bortoleto abandoned his Sauber. It was stop-go stuff with everyone waiting for more rain. After chasing him, Piastri passed Verstappen at Stowe on lap eight to lead. Verstappen then ran off at Becketts and Norris passed him before they all pitted as the rain resumed. Blinded by spray Norris suffered a slow stop, giving second, behind Piastri, back to Verstappen, in appalling conditions that prompted another full safety car and wiped out the Australian's 13-second advantage. 'There's water in my visor, a huge splash and I can't see,' reported Leclerc after bouncing across the grass at Becketts. Hamilton was also blinded by spray, dropping to eighth, as the field cruised through puddles. Racing resumed on lap 18 amid plumes of spray before a third full safety car was deployed when RB rookie Isack Hadjar crashed into Antonelli's Mercedes at Copse. The action re-started on lap 22 with a gripless Verstappen sliding off out of Copse as he spun, after Piastri had braked dramatically in front of him before the safety car peeled in. After a brief investigation, Piastri was given a 10-second penalty. By lap 26, and mid-race, Piastri led Norris before the Australian pitted to serve his time penalty, leaving Norris to soak up a memorable win.

Zak Brown Gives Verdict on Oscar Piastri's British GP Penalty
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. McLaren finished first and second at the British Grand Prix, but it wasn't all smooth sailing for the team. The hometown hero, Lando Norris, got the win at his stomping grounds after his teammate, Oscar Piastri, got slapped with a 10-second time penalty for a safety car infringement. The penalty resulted from Piastri's hard braking as the safety car was coming to an end. Despite Norris taking home the win, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown felt for the Australian driver, who would have likely won the race if not for the penalty. McLaren's Australian driver Oscar Piastri reacts after placing second in the podium positions during the Formula One British Grand Prix at the Silverstone motor racing circuit in Silverstone, central England, on July 6, 2025.

Photo by"Disappointed for Oscar, for sure, he drove an unbelievable race, but, you know, you come across penalties every once in a while, and some are marginal, some are clear, some are wrong, and just kind of is what it is," Brown said on Sky Sports. According to an FIA document released after the race, Piastri dropped from 218 kph to 52 kph and applied 59.2 PSI on the brakes. Brown felt that the sudden appearance of the safety car led to Piastri reacting in such a drastic fashion. "Safety car seemed like it was called in a bit late. The leader controls. I think Max accelerated, Oscar braked, which made it look worse than it was," Brown added. "The telemetry didn't look like it looked on TV, but it is what it is. I think anytime you get into these penalties, there's an element of subjectivity. "I think when they're pounding on the brakes, they're at 130/140 psi, so you know, trying to get temperature in the tires." Since it is another one of its drivers that benefited from the penalty, McLaren is unlikely to protest the penalty. However, the team will likely seek clarity on why such a harsh penalty was imposed.
