British Grand Prix Voted As Favourite Race Of 2025 F1 Season

If you followed the 2025 Formula 1 season, you know it delivered non-stop thrills from start to finish. Fans just voted, and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone claimed the top spot as the favourite race of 2025 with 22% of the votes. This chaotic, weather-soaked showdown outshone everything else, blending home heroics, surprise podiums, and pure drama that had everyone glued to their screens.

A Truly Chaotic Race: The British Grand Prix

The poll came after Lando Norris sealed his maiden world championship with McLaren, capping a season full of edge-of-your-seat action. Silverstone’s event stood out for its wild mix of dry-to-wet conditions that flipped the script multiple times. Starting from pole, Max Verstappen led early, but Oscar Piastri snatched the lead on lap 8 as rain hit hard. A safety car soon followed, and Piastri drew a 10-second penalty for slowing too much at the restart, handing the advantage to his teammate Norris.

Norris held firm through the madness, crossing the line first for an emotional home win, his first at Silverstone after years of near-misses. Piastri settled for second despite the penalty, securing McLaren’s 1-2 finish. But the real shock was Nico Hulkenberg, who charged from 19th on the grid to third on his 239th start, grabbing his maiden F1 podium in Kick Sauber colours. No driver had waited longer for that moment, making it one of the season’s defining stories.

Chaos ruled the rest of the field. Five retirements marked the day: Liam Lawson spun out after clashing with Esteban Ocon on lap 1, Gabriel Bortoleto slid into gravel, Isack Hadjar crashed heavily, and Kimi Antonelli bowed out in the carnage. Verstappen spun at the safety car restart, dropping to fifth, while Lewis Hamilton fought to fourth in his Ferrari.

São Paulo took second in the favourite race of 2025 poll at 16%, with Abu Dhabi, Australia, and Las Vegas rounding out the top five. Silverstone’s blend of strategy gambles, British weather tricks, and Hulkenberg’s fairy-tale run made it unforgettable. As F1 heads into 2026, this vote reminds us why the British Grand Prix stays a calendar highlight, raw, unpredictable, and full of heart.
