The program for the 2024 British Grand Prix

The first triple-header of the 2024 season Formula 1 comes to an end with the third meeting in three weeks, the unmissable British GP on the emblematic Silverstone circuit, the twelfth round of the year. On the evening of the English event, the halfway point of the season will be reached! This year will be the 75th time that a British GP has been organized: it is one of only two Grands Prix to be present on the Formula 1 calendar since the creation of the championship in 1950!

Silverstone is a legendary place in the discipline: it is here that the first Grand Prix of the Formula 1 world championship was contested, on May 13, 1950. The circuit, which was originally designed on a disused aerodrome, has evolved considerably since then. but retained its very fast characteristics, with long straights and high speed curves.

How can we not mention Silverstone without its emblematic turns, like the Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel sequence, the ultra-fast Copse turn or the Stowe curve at the end of the Hangar straight. In 2024, there will once again be two DRS zones, on the two longest straights.

On the grid, four drivers have already won the British GP: Fernando Alonso (2006) Carlos Sainz (2022) Max Verstappen (2023) and above all, Lewis Hamilton, record holder for the event with eight victories (2008, 2014-2017, 2019-2021)! The race lap record is currently held by Max Verstappen, with a 1'27″097 achieved in 2020.
