- “GRandstand” located at Farm Curve on Silverstone circuit

Silverstone will introduce the GRandstand for George Russell at the 2027 British Grand Prix, locating it at Farm Curve to acknowledge his status among Britain’s leading Formula 1 drivers.
British driver Lando Norris already has the Landostand at Stowe Corner, a section that doubled capacity for 2026 to meet demand from a fervent fanbase.
Silverstone will open the GRandstand at Farm Curve for the 2027 British Grand Prix.
Positioning at Farm Curve offers views through Abbey’s exit and the approach to Village, giving supporters extended sightlines early in the lap and a natural focal point for Russell’s following.
Russell’s record underlines the decision: seven grand prix wins and 11 poles. He sits second in 2026 with Mercedes’ W17 after a consistent campaign amid a tough challenge.
A runner-up finish at Silverstone delivered his first home podium this year, reinforcing his connection with the circuit and underlining the appeal of a new, dedicated area for his supporters.
Russell owns seven wins and 11 poles, and sits second in the 2026 standings with Mercedes’ W17.
Russell’s path reflects Britain’s motorsport ladder. He excelled in domestic karting, won the 2017 GP3 title, then claimed the 2018 Formula 2 crown before debuting with Williams in 2019.
Silverstone’s approach mirrors Norris’s example: build identifiable fan zones, then scale capacity as interest grows. That strategy strengthens event identity without altering sporting integrity or circuit operations.
Norris’s Landostand at Stowe expanded for 2026 to meet surging demand.
Further milestones this season will shape reception of the initiative, with momentum influenced by results at key events such as the Italian Grand Prix and forthcoming flyaways.
The timeline to 2027 allows planning around sightlines, access, and temporary infrastructure, while aligning commercial programmes with Mercedes and Russell’s camp amid evolving championship narratives.
With the GRandstand joining the Landostand, Silverstone consolidates hometown pull for two British front-runners and offers a clearer framework for managing swelling demand during the Grand Prix weekend.
