The 2024 renewal of the British Grand Prix proved to be a dramatic affair. George Russell had started the race on pole, but it would be his Mercedes teammate and fellow Brit, Lewis Hamilton, who would rediscover his winning touch in front of a fervent home support to claim his first grand prix success for three years. A record Silverstone crowd of 164,000 were in attendance last July, and F1 fanatics have been frantically buying up tickets for this year’s edition. Don’t delay, if you want to join the masses on one of the most memorable days of the British summer.
Lewis Hamilton will be there again, but this will be the first occasion he’s started his home grand prix in the stylish red regalia of Ferrari. The former 7-time F1 world champion dominates the British Grand Prix winners’ list, having triumphed at Silverstone a staggering nine times between 2008-2024. The crowd’s attention won’t be fully focused on Hamilton, of course, with three other British drivers set to line up. Lando Norris and George Russell both have previous experience of a home grand prix, with the former clinching podium spots in both 2023 and 2024. However, Oliver Bearman will be joining the British party for the first time. The 19-year-old Haas racer will be eagerly awaiting his first drive in front of the adoring crowds at Silverstone.
There’s plenty of entertainment to keep racegoers enthralled when the drivers aren’t roaring around the circuit too. As well as off-track activities such as the F1 Fan Zone with its bungee trampolines and segways, a host of musical stars will be delighting the F1 fans over the 4 days. Sam Fender is scheduled to open the weekend on Thursday, with RAYE performing on Friday, Fatboy Slim on Saturday, and Becky Hill concluding the music lineup on Sunday. The F1 drivers will also be making various Main Stage appearances to give interviews across the race weekend.
Whether you’re a die-hard F1 racing fan or a casual observer, the British Grand Prix is sure to captivate you. Whether you’re looking for Grandstand seats, General Admission or VIP experiences, there are tickets to suit all tastes and pockets. Let GOAL give you the lowdown on how you can buy tickets to the Grand Prix, including how much they cost and where you can get them from.

Where is the F1 British Grand Prix 2025 held?
Getty ImagesThe Silverstone Circuit is an English motor racing circuit, near the Northamptonshire village of Silverstone. It first hosted the British Grand Prix in 1948 with a reported 100,000 watching trackside and famously held the first ever grand prix of the inaugural F1 World Championship in 1950, with Queen Elizabeth II in attendance. Silverstone is one of only four venues from that very first F1 season to remain a part of the current schedule, the others being Monaco, Spa and Monza.
Though the British Grand Prix rotated between Silverstone, Aintree and Brands Hatch from 1955 to 1986, it settled permanently at Silverstone from 1987 and has staged the event more than 50 times in total. The ‘birthplace’ of Formula One would also usher in another first for the sport, when the Sprint Qualifying format debuted at Silverstone in 2021. As well as expanding grandstand capacity, race organisers have made improvements to the General Admission viewing areas and introduced a Thursday launch party, all of which have helped to boost recent attendance numbers. The circuit has recently extended its contract to hold the British Grand Prix until at least 2034.
