F1 British Grand Prix Hamilton Straight A3-5 Jul 2026 · Silverstone Circuit

Hamilton Straight A is located at the beginning of Hamilton Straight, opposite the starting grid. You will have direct views of the race build-up and the all-important "lights out" race start. Once the race is underway, the cars will come into view again at the end of the lap, as they brake at Vale to navigate the slow, tight chicane of turns 16 & 17. A good exit is key as they accelerate around Club corner at turn 18 and race up Hamilton Straight, before disappearing into Abbey at turn 1.

A large section of the pit lane and garages are in view so you can see the time-critical pit stops first-hand. As the chequered flag is waved, the finish line and winner's podium are also opposite, making it a great position to see the post-race celebrations.

Seats on the right-side of the stand have a clearer view of Vale and the winner's podium, whilst seats on the left-side of the stand have a more comprehensive view of the pit lane.

The uncovered Hamilton Straight B grandstand is located on the other side of the hotel on the left-side of Hamilton Straight A.

Hamilton Straight A features padded seats for extra comfort.
