  • Silverstone will mark 75 years since hosting the first F1 world championship round when it stages this weekend’s British Grand Prix.
  • Organizers expect around 500,000 spectators over the four-day event, eclipsing last year’s 480,000 attendance.
  • McLaren teammates occupy the championship’s top spots, with Oscar Piastri leading Lando Norris by 15 points as the season reaches its midpoint.
  • Rising star Oliver Bearman makes his home-race debut for Haas while Lewis Hamilton contests his first Silverstone start in Ferrari red.
  • For the first time, FIA’s full single-seater ladder—F1, F2, F3 and F4—appears on the support bill and teams have rolled out special anniversary liveries.
