Silverstone's guide to grandstands
19 September 2023The British Grand Prix is an extraordinary F1 spectacle wherever you are sitting, but some grandstands are better depending on the experience you're after. Whether it’s the high-speed thrills of Becketts or the overtaking hotspot of Stowe, there are over 30 grandstands to choose from and something for everyone at Silverstone.
Premium grandstands
Silverstone's premium grandstands place you at the beating heart of the Grand Prix weekend. With reserved seats for both Qualifying and Race Day, you'll be up close and personal with the pit lane and the starting grid for the most important sessions of the weekend.
Landostand
New for 2025, Lando Norris and Silverstone have joined forces to bring to life the first-ever Landostand. Situated at the ultra-fast Stowe corner, fans will be treated to some of the best racing action on the circuit. Not only that, but Lando will visit the grandstand during the weekend, fan-packs will be provided as well as entertainment throughout the event, all of which is included in the ticket price.
Landostand tickets have sold out for the 2025 British Grand Prix. But fear not, there are still plenty of other options to choose from around the track!
Silverstone Grandstand highlights
Hamilton Straight
The start/finish straight is a popular choice with F1 ticket holders. Witnessing ‘lights out’ is a goosebump-inducing moment that is not to be missed, not to mention the chequered flag and potential views of the podium (depending on where you sit).
Abbey
Turn 1 is a pivotal moment of any Grand Prix, so why not catch the initial exchanges as drivers vie for position moments after lights out? Even without its Turn 1 status, Abbey would be a superb choice, this ultra-fast right-hander is a real crowd-pleaser.
Village
The first braking event of the lap at Village often sees plenty of overtaking. In addition, the pit exit feeds directly into this tight technical corner so there’ll always be something exciting going on at this Silverstone grandstand.
Luffield
With views of the Wellington Straight, Brooklands and Luffield, these grandstands offer some of the most comprehensive sightlines around the circuit. With overtakes often starting on the way into Brooklands and finishing at Copse, a lot of action can be absorbed from this single spot.
Copse
The scene of the infamous Max Verstappen/Lewis Hamilton clash of 2021, Copse corner is an excellent choice having hosted other notable overtakes through the years.
Becketts
Arguably one of the most impressive sequences of corners in all of motorsport, the Becketts grandstand provides an unparalleled viewpoint of Maggots, Becketts and Chapel that will thrill spectators lap after lap.
Stowe
Not only is Stowe at the end of the iconic Hangar Straight, but it is also a supremely high-speed turn that pushes the drivers and cars to their limits. As the favoured overtaking spot for many drivers, this is the place to be if it’s wheel-to-wheel action you’re after.
Club
One of the most popular Silverstone grandstands is Club Corner and for good reason. Depending on where you’re sitting, this grandstand can offer views of the podium as well as spectacular moments like the iconic ‘through goes Hamilton’ overtake at the 2022 British Grand Prix.
