British Grand Prix 2025: Start time, grid positions, how to watch and weather forecast

The duo once again jostled for supremacy at the Red Bull Ring two weeks after colliding in dramatic fashion in Canada, but this time there was to be no contact as Norris held his nerve to deliver a third victory of the season after earlier triumphs in Australia and Monaco.

Norris will hope to continue that fightback on home soil this weekend, though could only qualify third on Saturday as both McLarens fell behind a blistering last-gasp lap from Max Verstappen, who clinched pole position to bounce back from his early exit at Red Bull’s home race in Austria that followed a collision with Kimi Antonelli, who has a three-place penalty here as a result.

George Russell took fourth for Mercedes, with nine-time British Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton having to make do with fifth spot on the grid for Ferrari.

Fellow Briton Oliver Bearman will start 18th rather than eighth for Haas after being hit with a 10-place grid penalty and received four penalty points on his super license after a red flag infringement during the third practice session earlier on Saturday.

The 2025 British Grand Prix takes place on Sunday, July 6 at Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire, England.
