Celebrating F1’s 75th anniversary, this event marks the halfway point of the season and promises high-speed action at the historic home of British motorsport.

British Grand Prix 2025: What To Expect
The 2025 season has been defined by the fierce rivalry between the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Norris is fresh off a victory in Austria, is just 15 points behind Piastri, and is targeting his first win at Silverstone, his home race.
Three British drivers, Lando Norris, George Russell, and Lewis Hamilton, are all potential podium contenders. Norris is the crowd favorite, Russell is riding high after his Montreal win and a string of podiums, and Hamilton, now racing for Ferrari, is chasing a record 10th British Grand Prix victory. Youngster Ollie Bearman is also tipped for a strong points finish.
Hamilton returns to the British Grand Prix 2025 as a Ferrari driver for the first time, a year after his emotional win here. Despite some early-season struggles, he remains a fan favorite and a threat at his home track. Also, he seems to get the hang of his new car after his best result in a race yet, in Austria, which is fourth.
Meanwhile, we just can’t dismiss the threat from Max Verstappen as his championship hopes have taken a hit after a collision in Austria left him 63 points adrift of Piastri. He needs a major turnaround at Silverstone to revive his title campaign.
