Today Formula 1 announced that the British Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar for the next 10 years. Silverstone and its owner, the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) will continue to deliver the legacy of racing that has seen 74 years of Formula 1 action. The 2024 British Grand Prix will take place July 5-7 where Max Verstappen will attempt to defend his win from last year’s dominant performance.
“I am delighted to announce that the British Grand Prix will remain on the calendar for 10 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 from the BRDC, 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 10 years.”

This contractual security will provide a solid base for the further development of the venue as we continue to improve and transform the circuit into a year-round international motorsport and leisure destination.
