Formula 1 announced that the British Grand Prix will remain on the F1 calendar until 2034 inclusive following a ten-year extension with promoter Silverstone.
The Northamptonshire circuit is set to enter its ninth decade with the new deal, after hosting the inaugural Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1950. In recent years, the British Grand Prix has become one of the most popular events on the F1 calendar, attracting a large number of attendees.
In 2023, the race drew in a record crowd of 480,000 over the weekend, with over 60,000 fans camping in the local area. The event also attracted big names from the world of sports, music, and culture.
“I am delighted to announce that the British Grand Prix will remain on the calendar for ten more years with this agreement. Silverstone is an iconic venue at the heart of F1 history and as it approaches its ninth decade hosting Grands Prix, the event continues to attract fans from around the world for fantastic racing on track and the amazing fan experience off it. I would like to thank Peter Digby and the BRDC, as well as Stuart Pringle and the whole Silverstone team for their hard work and dedication to take the British Grand Prix to new heights and I look forward to working closely with them as they look to further improve the facilities and fan experience over the next ten years.”
