F1 British GP 2025 live: Race result, reaction and standings as Piastri fumes at Norris win at wet Silverstone

Piastri’s McLaren teammate and championship rival Lando Norris took victory at his home race, with the Australian coming home in second.

Yet Piastri cost himself victory after he was given a penalty for an infringement behind the safety car while leading the race.

Piastri broke heavily, with Max Verstappen behind him forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision. The stewards quickly made their call, giving Piastri a penalty which ultimately cost him victory.

From here on in, Lando Norris will want his own personal grandstand at every race. The 25-year-old, arguably the sport’s most popular driver amongst the Netflix generation of F1 fans, had expectations sky-high this weekend at Silverstone, racing for the quickest team in a championship-contending season.

And for the 10,000 decked in bright yellow in the ‘LandoStand’ at Stowe corner, who bought tickets in the space of an hour last autumn, they were rewarded for their enthusiasm and endeavour amid grey skies around them with a dramatic win for their man on Sunday.

Norris took the chequered flag by five seconds, becoming the 13th British driver to win his home grand prix, while Oscar Piastri was left to rue a costly mid-race error behind the safety car. For the Australian, usually a modicum of composure, the customary post-race interview hit saw how vigorously his blood was boiling. “I’ll get myself in trouble,” he said.

Alex Albon, post-British Grand Prix, spoke on Williams’ current rival: “He’s a bit of an animal behind the wheel and he deserves it.”

He went on to say that the podium is long overdue for Nico Hulkenberg.

As the checkered flag loomed, Pierre Gasly overtook Lance Stroll to take sixth behind Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

“It’s beautiful, everything I’ve dreamed of,” Lando Norris said about his win at home in Silverstone. “I’ve got to give my credits to Oscar. … Round of applause for Oscar.”

When asked what he was thinking as he rounded the corner to take on his last lap he said “Don’t f*** it up, that’s rule No. 1.”

After finishing in second after leading for the majority of the race, Oscar Piastri said he was “not going to say much, I’ll get myself in trouble.”

“Well done to Nico, that’s the highlight of the day.”

Piastri made no mention of Lando Norris’ win in his post-race interview, but did add “apparently you can’t brake behind the safety car anymore.”

After completing the top three in Silverstone, Nico Hulkenberg said “It’s been a long time coming, hasn’t it?”

“I knew we had it in us. … I had it in me.”
