Hamilton Eyes Podium as Ferrari for First Time at Silverstone

The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is set to be a crucial event in the Formula One season, with Lewis Hamilton looking to secure his first podium as a Ferrari driver. The seven-time world champion has been on a hot streak this year, but he still trails Australian teammate Oscar Piastri and McLaren’s Lando Norris in the championship standings.

Hamilton will face stiff competition from Max Verstappen, who thrives in wet conditions and could be a dark horse for the win. However, Hamilton’s experience and expertise at Silverstone make him a strong contender, particularly with his Ferrari team looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the season.

Meanwhile, Piastri is under pressure to maintain his lead after Norris closed the gap with a win in Austria last week. The young Australian has been impressive this year, but he faces a tough task at Silverstone if the rain materializes as forecast.

The Silverstone circuit is known for its high-speed corners and overtaking opportunities, making it one of the most exciting events on the calendar. With a strong grid lined up, fans can expect an electrifying race that will be closely contested until the very end.

As the halfway point in the season approaches, all eyes are on Silverstone as Hamilton looks to secure his first Ferrari podium and cement his position among the F1 elite.
