SILVERSTONEEngland
The unofficial home of F1®, Silverstone, located in Northamptonshire, is a unique blend of beautiful countryside and wonderful architecture.
Named after the nearby Silverstone village, the surrounding areas of the track are home to many of Formula 1’s team factories, so the chances of you driving past one are pretty high! 8km north of the track is Towcester, famed for its traditional pubs and fare. If retail therapy is your tonic, take a trip to Bicester Village, situated 15 miles from Silverstone and home to more than 130 shopping outlets.
The Navigation Pub in Towcester is home to some proper ‘pub grub’, and a perfect spot to enjoy a summer’s evening with the locals after a long day at the track. Located in the Midlands of England, London, like many of the country’s major cities, is just over an hour’s drive from the race track, and the perfect excuse to extend your stay. One of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, the list of things to do is endless. From Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, London is a must-see.
Attend the 2018 British Grand Prix at Silverstone with F1 Experiences, the Official Ticket & Travel Program of Formula 1®, with access including driver meet-and-greets, Paddock Club Party, Exclusive Pit Lane Walks and more!

STOFFEL VANDOORNEFor Stoffel Vandoorne, it became a question of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ in his quest for racing in Formula One. That ‘when’ occurred after he was called up from his reserve role to deputize for the injured Fernando Alonso on the McLaren team at Bahrain in 2016.
Vandoorne began his motorsport career at six years old in 1998 and earned his first race and championship victories in national karting series. He went on to finish runner-u in the KF2 World Cup in 2009. During 2010, he went into the F4 Eurocup series scoring six victories as he wrapped up the title with two rounds in hand. He joined the McLaren Young Driver Program in 2013 after he became the vice-champion with four wins in the 3.5 series in 2013.
Stoffel joined the McLaren team as their Formula One reserve for 2014 and combined that with a maiden GP2 campaign with ART. He ultimately finished second to Jolyon Palmer after four victories and 10 podiums. In a continuous momentum, Vandoorne proved to be unstoppable in 2015 as he solidified seven wins, 16 podiums, four pole positions, and five fastest laps as he landed the series title in dominant fashion.
Vandoorne’s Formula One debut came in early 2016, when, deputizing for Fernando Alonso, he scored a point in his one-off Sakhir outing. He combined his reserve role with a season in Japan’s highly competitive Super Formula finishing fourth overall after two wins. His biggest prize of the year, however, was landing a full-time race drive with McLaren for 2017, stepping into the sizeable shoes of Jenson Button.
As an F1 rookie, he scored 13 points to Spanish teammate Alonso’s 17 in what was a tough final year of McLaren’s revived Honda partnership - and duly retained his drive alongside the two-time champion for 2018.

JENSON BUTTONA veteran of 306 Formula 1® Grand Prix weekends, Jenson Button is a modern-day icon of motorsport.
The 2009 World Champion grew up in the sport, maturing from a carefree youngster into a seasoned survivor whose perseverance paid off in a fairy tale finish with a team that came from nowhere.
With many onlookers comparing him to the late world champion Ayrton Senna, Button took the 1998 British Formula Ford championship. A year later, he was quick and confident in testing one of multiple world champion Alain Prost’s F1 cars. The result, an invitation to test a Williams F1® car, which ultimately landed.
Button’s winless record in F1 ended with a somewhat fortuitous first victory in the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix. Ineffective cars in the next two seasons kept him far away from the forefront and prompted Honda to make a shock withdrawal from the sport late in 2008. Then came the miraculous resurrection that began just three weeks before the first race of the new season with a management takeover led by team principal Ross Brawn.
Against all the odds and expectations, the Brawn-Mercedes driven superbly by Jenson Button won six of the first seven races. Jenson steadily accumulated more than enough points to lead the standings all season long, clinching the driving title and helping secure the Constructors’ Championship for Brawn.
Button’s last appearance in an F1 car came in 2017 for McLaren-Honda (deputizing for Fernando Alonso), at Monaco, marking the end of his illustrious F1 career, in which he claimed 15 wins and 50 podiums in 305 Grands Prix.
