Look at The British Grand Prix 2024 Schedule, Venue and More

Following races in Spain and Austria, action in Formula 1 2024’s European leg now shifts to England. The upcoming weekend will see the drivers vying for the coveted British Grand Prix 2024 title.

Before we delve deep into its finer details, here are all the key pointers you need to keep in mind about the race:

• Date: 5 to 7 July
• Venue: Silverstone, England
• Where to watch: F1 TV

While he was on a roll in June 2024, Max Verstappen fell short of finishing the month with a perfect win record at the Austrian Grand Prix. But George Russell’s win in Spielberg on 30 June does something even more significant to the F1 World Championship 2024.

Verstappen hasn’t been at his best this year. The reigning world champion has been seen dropping points at regular intervals, and Sunday, 30 June was another such instance. Luckily for him, second-placed Lando Norris fared poorer in Austria, meaning that the Belgian driver extended his lead on the driver’s standings by over 80 points.

Meanwhile, Russell’s win at the fag end of June meant that he emerged as a contender for the year-end World Championship. With the next Grand Prix in his homeland, the British driver will be hoping to make good use of the crowd support.

Can Verstappen pull up his socks and get his title defence back on track? Or is there another twist in the tale awaiting us? To ensure that you don’t miss out on this nail-biting F1 action, we bring you the schedule (dates) for the British Grand Prix 2024, its venue, details of live stream and more.
