Silverstone is ready to deliver another epic weekend of Formula 1, with an estimated 500,000 fans expected to fill the circuit across the event, so make sure you know the British Grand Prix 2025 schedule for the weekend’s action.
With the Formula 1 season reaching its halfway mark, the spotlight will be on Lando Norris, who arrives at his home race on the back of a brilliant victory in Austria. After narrowing Oscar Piastri’s championship lead to just 15 points, Norris is targeting a first British Grand Prix win in front of a roaring home crowd.
Silverstone will also see Lewis Hamilton take part in his first British Grand Prix as a Ferrari driver, just one year after his emotional win with Mercedes in 2024. Hamilton, the most successful driver in British GP history with nine wins, will be hoping to secure a podium for his new team and continue an extraordinary 12-year run of top-three finishes at his home event.
George Russell and Ollie Bearman will also have huge home support, with Russell determined to improve on past disappointments and Bearman relishing the chance to shine at Silverstone.
Meanwhile, reigning world champion Max Verstappen finds himself under pressure to recover in the championship after a costly opening-lap crash in Austria with Kimi Antonelli. With a 63-point deficit to Oscar Piastri, Verstappen needs a big result to stay in contention as the season heats up.
