This weekend’s British Grand Prix live streams mark the halfway stage of the 2025 Formula 1 season and once again much of the focus will be on the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
Australian Piastri currently leads the drivers’ championship but the deficit was reduced to just 15 points by teammate Norris after his impressive victory last time out in Austria. The British driver has yet to win in front of his home fans at Silverstone and will be eying consecutive victories for the first time this season.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen will also be chasing a victory to try and revive his title chances after he was knocked out on lap one at the Red Bull Ring after being hit by the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli. That left the four-time world champion trailing Piastri by 63 points.
Another potential storyline will be whether Lewis Hamilton can extend his remarkable run of 12 consecutive podiums at Silverstone. The Ferrari driver secured a memorable victory at the British GP 12 months ago and was excellent last week as he finished in fourth place.
In this article, you can find out how to watch the 2025 British Grand Prix live streams. You’ll also find all the information you need on the schedule, race start times around the world, track location, history and more.
