About 2025 F1 British Grand Prix

Silverstone, built in 1948 on a former RAF bomber base, hosted the inaugural official World Championship Grand Prix in 1950 and has since remained the spiritual home of Formula 1. Known for high‑speed sweepers like Maggotts‑Becketts and Abbey, the circuit demands precision and bravery. This year’s race features strong contenders: McLaren’s Oscar Piastri leads the championship, with team‑mate Lando Norris fresh off an Austrian victory and buoyed by his home crowd. Seven‑time world champion Lewis Hamilton, now with Ferrari, aims to end his 13‑race podium drought on familiar turf.

Race week unfolds with:

Friday: Practice 1 and 2
Saturday: Qualifying Saturday
Sunday: Grand Prix at 15:00 BST

Support categories this year uniquely include non‑points F4 races, alongside F2 and F3. Fans in the U.S. can watch on ESPN/ESPN+ (Qualifying on ESPN2), while UK viewers have live coverage via Sky Sports F1 and BBC Radio 5 Live.
