2026 Formula 1 British Grand Prix timetable

Following the Austrian Grand Prix, teams remain in Europe for one of the most iconic events on the Formula 1 calendar. This year's British Grand Prix will feature the Sprint format, with just one practice session on Friday before Sprint Qualifying, followed by the Sprint and Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday, and Sunday's British Grand Prix.

After eight rounds of the season, the championship battle continues to intensify. Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli remains at the top of the drivers' standings, but his rivals will be looking to reduce the gap at one of Formula 1's most demanding circuits. With the season approaching its halfway point, every point will become increasingly important in both championship battles.

Silverstone is regarded as one of Formula 1's greatest circuits. Famous for its high-speed layout and legendary corners such as Copse, Maggotts, Becketts and Stowe, the track rewards driver commitment and aerodynamic performance. Its rich history, passionate atmosphere and unpredictable British weather have produced countless memorable moments throughout Formula 1 history.

The British Grand Prix is also a home event for several Formula 1 teams, including Mercedes, McLaren, Williams, Aston Martin and Haas, creating a unique atmosphere as hundreds of thousands of passionate fans descend on Silverstone for one of the highlights of the Formula 1 season.
