F1 Great Britain 2025

Another rainy Silverstone day.
Race start 239. 19th place.

Early pit stops, crashes, spins.
The path starts to clear.

Battling Stroll. Corner after corner. 
Overtake! The podium in sight!

Stress. Stress. Stress. 
Chequered flag! Third place! 
The trophy in his hands!
It’s lego. 

Well done Nico!

You still get to party on a yacht! (Especially Lando).
