One of the most respected and storied in Formula 1 history is almost upon us. The British Grand Prix takes place this weekend. In this article, we review all the records that could be broken in Northamptonshire at the 12th round of the 2025 season. The 2025 race will be the 60th Formula 1 Grand Prix held at the old airfield. 58 of the previous races at the track have been British Grands Prix. However, the circuit also hosted the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix in 2020, during the COVID pandemic.
Hamilton can break more records at home hunting ground
If
Lewis Hamilton wins the 2025 British Grand Prix, the Brit will become the first driver to win ten times on home soil in Formula 1.
He currently shares the record of nine with fellow seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, who won the German and European Grands Prix when they were held in Germany on nine different occasions.
A podium finish for Lewis Hamilton at the race would see him extend the record for most podium finishes at a single circuit to 16. The Ferrari driver has a hot streak at
Silverstone, having finished on the podium at Silverstone in all of the last 11 seasons.
Piastri rolls back the years for Australian drivers
If McLaren's Oscar Piastri continues to lead the championship after the Austrian Grand Prix, it'll be the first time that an Australian driver has led the title race after eight consecutive races since Jack Brabham led after all nine races in 1959.
The calm before the storm - Practice for the British Grand Prix begins tomorrow.
If Max Verstappen scores a Grand Chelem (winning from pole position after leading every lap and setting the fastest lap), it would be his sixth in F1. That would see him equal Lewis Hamilton for second on the list of the most F1, behind two-time champion Jim Clark.
If either Fernando Alonso or Lewis Hamilton crosses the line to finish the 2025 British Grand Prix, they will become the first driver to have completed 20 races at Silverstone.
Coming into the race weekend, home hero Lando Norris will be looking to maintain momentum after a statement drive at last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.
The Brit held off teammate and championship leader Oscar Piastri to take an important victory under pressure. Norris now sits 15 points behind his teammate as the battle heats up.
