The 2012 Silverstone GP2 Series round was a GP2 Series motor race held on 7 and 8 July 2012 at Silverstone Circuit in Silverstone, United Kingdom. It was the seventh round of the 2012 GP2 Season.[1]
Mexican Esteban Gutierrez won the feature race while Brazilian Luiz Razia won the sprint race.

As a result, Razia ended up leading the GP2 Championship after Silverstone.[2]
