Austrian Grand Prix – Highlights:

The 2025 Austrian Grand Prix brought thrilling, exciting, and unforgettable moments. It was full of action as every driver gave their best to finish the race on a high note. Actually, in the Austrian GP, before the race started, Carlos Sainz’s car caught fire during the warm-up lap, leading him to rest for the race. Just after the race began, Kimi Antonelli, a new driver from Mercedes, braked too late and crashed into Max Verstappen at Turn 3. Both had to stop racing, and the home crowd was stunned. Then, McLaren took charge of the race. Lando Norris started in front and led early, while his teammate, Oscar Piastri, stayed close behind and kept challenging him. They passed each other a few times, but in the end, Norris stayed ahead and won the race just slightly in front of Piastri.

The race went well, where Charles Leclerc finished third for Ferrari, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell behind him for Mercedes. Liam Lawson came sixth, Fernando Alonso used a bright one-stop plan to grab seventh, and newcomer Gabriel Bortoleto got his first-ever F1 points in eighth. Nico Hülkenberg and Esteban Ocon finished in the last two spots of the top ten. Red Bull had a rough weekend at their home race, with Verstappen not finishing and Yuki Tsunoda coming in 16th, so they didn’t score any points. The race changed the points table a lot. Norris is only 15 points behind Piastri in the Drivers’ Championship, and McLaren is even further ahead in the team rankings. Now, all eyes turn to Silverstone for what promises to be another electrifying chapter in this unpredictable season. Let’s look at the upcoming British Grand Prix and find out what this exciting race has in store. Along with Formula 1 coverage, you can explore more global sports updates on our site.

The Formula 1 British Grand Prix is set to take place at the Silverstone Circuit, which remains home to the British Grand Prix. It is located near the Northamptonshire villages of Silverstone and Whittlebury. This site sits on the site of a former Royal Air Force airfield used during World War II.

The very first racing at the Silverstone Circuit took place in 1947, with an informal event known as the Mutton Grand Prix. By 1950, Silverstone hosted the very first Formula One World Championship race. Since then, Silverstone Circuit has become the permanent home of the British Grand Prix, earning its place as a cornerstone of F1 history.

Silverstone can host up to 164,000 spectators, making it one of the largest venues on the F1 calendar.

It’s a fast, flowing circuit that challenges drivers and engineers with its mix of high-speed straights and technical turns. The current layout of the circuit is as follows: 

The official lap record at Silverstone was set by Max Verstappen in 2020, with a stunning time of 1:27.097. This record remains a benchmark at one of the most demanding circuits in Formula 1. Silverstone is a valid driver’s track, featuring sweeping curves, fast straights, and quick direction changes that challenge even the best. As we head into this year’s British Grand Prix, all eyes are on what unfolds. Will Verstappen repeat his feat, or will someone else rise to the occasion and set a new trend?

Predictions:

The 2025 Formula One season delivers nonstop excitement, surprises, and top-class racing. It started with a bang right from the opening round. Since then, fans have witnessed a rollercoaster of dramatic twists, fierce battles, and standout performances across the grid. Oscar Piastri currently leads the championship with five wins, placing him firmly at the top of the driver standings. Close behind is his McLaren teammate, Lando Norris, who has shown consistent form and recently claimed a confident win in Austria. Max Verstappen, the reigning champion from Red Bull, holds third place, followed by George Russell in fourth and Charles Leclerc in fifth. As the grid gears up for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, McLaren stands out as the team to watch. Their MCL39 has demonstrated outstanding speed and balance, especially on fast, flowing circuits like Silverstone. With home crowd support and strong momentum, Norris is a leading contender for both pole position and the win. Piastri, calm and consistent all season, is also expected to challenge closely, making a McLaren 1-2 finish very likely. This race could mark a turning point in the championship and promises plenty of on-track drama.

Meanwhile, Mercedes could be the surprise package of the weekend. While racing at home, George Russell has a solid track record at Silverstone and is eager to deliver a strong performance under pressure. Rookie Kimi Antonelli might also benefit from any shake-ups during the weekend. Red Bull enters the race looking to rebound after a disappointing outing in Austria, where Verstappen retired on the opening lap. However, Silverstone suits his aggressive driving style, and he could force his way back into the fight with a chance of rain. Ferrari arrives with mixed expectations. Charles Leclerc has been steady, but the team’s car struggles in cooler, high-speed conditions, which are issues that Silverstone may expose.

Nevertheless, he’ll be aiming to improve and adapt. Lewis Hamilton, racing at home with Ferrari for the first time, will have a wave of crowd support, but the team’s current pace may not be enough for a podium challenge. All signs suggest this Grand Prix will be packed with unpredictability and fierce competition, making for a truly unforgettable race weekend.
