The oldest race on the Formula 1 calendar
Events
The British Grand Prix is the oldest race on the Formula 1 calendar. It served as the inaugural round of the first World Championship in 1950 at Silverstone, an event attended by King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, and Princess Margaret.
To date, the race has been won by 13 different British drivers. The most recent British victor is Lando Norris, who secured his first home win in 2025.
Sir Lewis Hamilton holds the record for the most victories at the event, with nine wins (2008, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024). His 2008 victory in torrential rain remains one of the most dominant wet-weather performances in the sport’s history.
The British Grand Prix is organised by the Motorsport UK events team. For more information, visit www.silverstone.co.uk and www.formula1.com.
