About the track

Silverstone is the birthplace of Formula 1 - on this former military airfield on 13 May 1950, the first ever World Championship race was held. The Maggots-Becketts-Chapel complex is the fastest corner sequence on the F1 calendar, taken at full throttle under forces exceeding 5G. The iconic Copse corner, where the memorable Hamilton-Verstappen collision occurred in 2021, demands absolute courage and trust in grip from drivers. Variable British weather can transform the race within minutes - sun and rain alternating create conditions for unforgettable battles. Over 300,000 fans gathered in the grandstands generate an atmosphere comparable to the best football stadiums in the world. Silverstone constantly evolves, but its fast, flowing character remains true to the spirit of the oldest Formula 1 track.
