The 2025 British Grand Prix in numbers

The 2025 F1 British Grand Prix was a historic and memorable race for many reasons, not least of which for its incredible attendance statistic and Lando Norris’ first-ever home victory as his title tilt continues to gather momentum. 

It’s not just the headline figures, either. There are plenty of other eye-catching numbers that helped make the 2025 British Grand Prix one to remember.

Half a million attendees

After achieving an astonishing attendance figure of 480,000 people in 2023 and 2024, the bar was set very high for the 2025 edition of the British Grand Prix.  

This year, Silverstone pushed the envelope even further by welcoming a remarkable 500,000 people through its gates over the course of the race weekend.

Lando Norris’ first win on home soil

For the first time in his F1 career, Lando Norris stood on the top step of the British Grand Prix podium. 

Having finished sixth, fifth, fourth, third and second in his previous six attempts and taking podium finishes in the last two years, there was a feeling in the paddock that this was Lando’s year.

After 52 laps of changeable conditions and immense late-race pressure from his team-mate, he finally delivered that win to the home crowd.

Nico finally gets his podium

It was a historic day for Nico Hülkenberg as well, with the German taking his first F1 podium on his 239th attempt, taking Sauber's first podium since the 2012 Japanese Grand Prix with Kamui Kobayashi. Hülkenberg’s last podium in a single-seater was in the GP2 Algarve Feature Race in 2009.

The only other time a Sauber took a podium at Silverstone, it was in the hands of another German driver without a Grand Prix win to his name – Nick Heidfeld – in a wet race. In that 2008 running of the race, a McLaren driver – none other than Lewis Hamilton – also took his first home victory, before going on to take his first world title later that year.

Four British drivers on home turf 18 years later

For the first time since the 2007 British Grand Prix, the home crowd had four local drivers to cheer on. 

18 years prior, it was Lewis Hamilton in his first F1 outing at Silverstone, Jenson Button, David Coulthard and Anthony Davidson racing in front of the British crowds.

Now, in 2025, Lewis was joined by Lando Norris, George Russell and Ollie Bearman on the grid.

Sustainable stats

Throughout the weekend, the Silverstone team worked tirelessly to ensure the event was as sustainable as possible. 

There were 7,122 containers recycled through Ecovend, 27 water stations available for refills, over 125,000 people transported by 600 buses to and from the circuit (100 of which were EVs), and 20% of all food options were meat-free.

A single-seater family affair

Fans enjoyed the full suite of single-seater feeder series at the 2025 British Grand Prix, with Formula 4, Formula 3, Formula 2 and Formula 1 all racing on the same weekend and a total of 25 on-track sessions and historic demonstrations throughout the event.  

World-class music and entertainment

Across the Made at Vale stage, the Drivers Inn Stage and the eBay Mainstage, over 32 musical acts performed throughout the weekend. 

From tribute bands to primary school hymns, and four incredible headliners – Sam Fender, RAYE, Fatboy Slim and Becky Hill – Silverstone’s 2025 musical offering was firing on all cylinders.
