It’s the home round for the reigning world champion, two of this year’s grand prix winners and most of the teams this weekend.
Formula 1 heads to Silverstone which is hosting a sprint event for the first time since the championship introduced the divisive format five years ago – back when it was called ‘sprint qualifying’.
Formula 2 and Formula 3 will be supporting as usual. Here’s how to watch all the 2026 British Grand Prix live in the UK:
