British Grand Prix 2025

Silverstone Circuit will once again invite drivers to tackle its 18 turns in front of nearly 150,000 people. Each leg of the race runs 5.891 km and features plenty of stretches for overtaking. Silverstone has been modified through the years to increase the stakes and make the British Grand Prix one of the most thrilling events of the season.

Fingers are crossed across the board, especially after the excitement of the 2018 race. Several crashes, including one involving Grand Prix frontman Lewis Hamilton, wound up resulting in three retirees at laps 31 and 37. It was a close race for the top five spots, with Sebastian Vettel of Germany taking 25 points and Hamilton scoring 18, just 2.26 seconds behind.

Silverstone may be a ways away from the heart of England at London, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fitting to host the Grand Prix. In fact, it’s proven time and time again that travelers love coming out to the sleepy village in the British countryside. Silverstone is situated in the middle of Motorsport Valley, and traveling to outlying towns and cities will give race fans plenty to see and do. Teams, manufacturers, and businesses associated with Motorsport speckle the “valley.”

Nearby Towcester is a pleasant stop-off during the weekend, offering plenty of surprises for a countryside town. A market tends to be the big draw to the quaint town. For a more modern city, travel to Milton Keynes. It’s quite a bit different from the more historic towns that have retained their country appearance. Milton Keynes has welcomed new big businesses, leading to a recent boost in amenities and entertainment.

The beauty of the countryside is intoxicating and is a fine layover while waiting for the roar of the engines to echo from Silverstone.
