Silverstone dwarfs F1 rivals
Silverstone emerged as the most attended grand prix of the 2025 season before the summer break, surpassing other F1 circuits. The British Grand Prix hosted a mini-festival in July, attracting a massive crowd to witness local heroes like Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. A record number of 500,000 spectators gathered at Silverstone, particularly to see Norris clinch his first home win. The German publication Motorsport.com’s data reveals the British Grand Prix as the most attended race of the season so far, followed closely by Melbourne and Spa. While smaller figures were reported for Bahrain due to low venue capacity, circuits like Barcelona, Austria, and Hungary were also popular among fans. Silverstone’s ongoing popularity has secured its place on the F1 calendar until 2034, with the 2025 British GP standing as the second-best attended F1 race in history behind the 1995 Australian Grand Prix. In 2024, the British GP once again outshone Australia, Mexico City emerged as the third popular race, and the Azerbaijan GP had the lowest attendance possibly due to venue constraints.
