Three front-running Brits
Lando Norris has already won two races in 2025 and is arguably the favourite for a home victory at Silverstone in the papaya McLaren.
George Russell – currently fourth in the Drivers’ Standings – is also in the running having notched his first win in 2025 in Montreal and claimed five total podiums so far this season.
Despite Lewis Hamilton’s teething troubles with Ferrari, the seven-time champion has still taken a Sprint win in 2025 and could be an outside chance for a record 10th British Grand Prix victory.
While Ollie Bearman may not be a likely candidate for victory at Silvestone this year, the young Brit has been doing a stellar job so far and could well score strong points on home soil.
