The 2024 British Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways British Grand Prix 2024) was a Formula One motor race that took place on 7 July 2024 at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire, England. It was the twelfth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship.
The race was won by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Lando Norris of McLaren. It was Hamilton's first victory since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Additionally, it was his ninth overall victory at the British Grand Prix, breaking the record for the most wins at a single circuit.[2]
The event was held at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire for the 59th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 5–7 July.[3] The Grand Prix was the twelfth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the 75th running of the British Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship.[4]
Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship with 237 points, 81 points ahead of Lando Norris in second, and 87 ahead of Charles Leclerc in third. Red Bull Racing, with 355 points, led the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari and McLaren, who were second and third with 291 and 268 points, respectively.[5]
The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for the race.[6] In the first free practice session, Oliver Bearman stood in for Kevin Magnussen for Haas, Franco Colapinto replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams, Jack Doohan drove instead of Pierre Gasly for Alpine and Isack Hadjar was in for Red Bull Racing in place of Sergio Pérez. Colapinto made his Formula One practice debut.[7] [8] [9] [10]
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C2, and C3 tyre compounds (the three hardest in their range) designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event.[11]
