Movies Lando Norris WINS British Grand Prix- Furious Oscar Piastri Second-'I Deserved More'

Lando Norris Revels in Dream Come True, Furious Team Mate Oscar Piastri Insists He Deserved More at Silverstone.

Nico Hulkenberg Third -Ends 239 Race Wait For a Podium Finish. British Lewis Hamilton Came Fourth

Lando Norris Claimed Victory at The British Grand Prix on Sunday. Oscar Piastri Said It Hurts Because I know I Deserved a Lot More Than I Got Today


MailOnline 7 JUL 2025








Lando Norris called it a dream come true as he joined the royalty of national motor racing by winning the British Grand Prix.




Hamilton brushed off the grid walk drama and finished fourth in treacherous conditions


Norris recalled how as an eight year old he watched Lewis Hamilton triumph in the wet in 2008 by more than a minute. Now aged 25, he celebrated emulating him after a flawless, if fortuitous win at a rain lashed Silverstone.


This victory is everything I dreamed of, smiled Norris, whose title challenge is reignited as he goes eight points behind his McLaren team mate Oscar Piastri with 12 rounds down and 12 to go. Being on top at your home race is very, very special

From a British perspective, I join a long list of pretty incredible winners, mostly Lewis the record NINE time winner. To join him and continue the reign of the British at Silverstone is amazing.

Looking up at the fans and seeing them on their feet, your mind just goes pretty blank. The main thing is just dont f*** it up. I was trying to enjoy the moment.

His chance to become the 12th home winner of the race came when Piastri slammed on the brakes as the safety car prepared to pull in midway through the race. The Australian was handed a 10 second penalty for erratic braking - a verdict Piastri, who finished runner up, disputed.

Norris, who started third, moved into second place when quadruple world champion Max Verstappen spun, and was handed the lead by virtue of Piastris sanction. He then drove well in tricky conditions to prevail by just over six seconds.

Piastri was furious at his treatment. I hit the brakes and at the same time the lights went out on the safety car, he protested. I didnt do anything differently from my first restart. I didnt go slower.





I felt it was well within the rules. I dont really get it. I will go and have a look back.


But Lando didnt do anything wrong so I dont think it would have been fair to swap us around, though I thought I should ask. It doesnt change much for the championship.

Piastri also lost to Norris in Austria a week earlier. The Briton is gaining strength, momentum rolling with him.

Hamilton, meanwhile finished fourth on his Ferrari debut at Silverstone, with a late excursion off track costing the 40 year old a possible crack at the third place secured by Saubers Nico Hulkenberg.


Its only my second time driving this car in the wet, said Hamilton. I cant even express how hard it is. Its not a car that likes those conditions.

We have lots of data to take from this. I have to sit down with the people designing next years car because there are elements that cannot go on.
