The British GP is scheduled to take place from 01-03 July at the historic Silverstone circuit – here is what to wear for the race
The clothing you decide to wear to a Formula 1 race event can make or break the experience. The Formula 1 race weekend can be intense, and it is important to dress accordingly. Let us find out what you should be wearing for this weekend’s race in Silverstone!
The dress requirements for an F1 race vary depending on your seating position and the race weekend package you have purchased. Sitting in the grandstand requires more casual clothing, while a visit to the paddock requires smarter attire. Always dress according to the forecasted weather and bring along some ear protection.
Speaking of the weather, Silverstone is set for mixed conditions throughout the race weekend, with rain showers forecast for Friday, before staying dry but cloudy on Saturday and Sunday. Highs of 22 degrees Celsius are predicted on Sunday for the start of the race, almost similar to what we had at the previous race in Canada.
Formula 1 is a very prestigious event and is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport. The races are always attended by prominent social, business, and political figures from all over the world. For general fans and grandstand seating, there is no F1 dress code. However, the social norm is to dress up a little while dressing as comfortably as possible.
The only dress code that must be strictly adhered to is when visiting the paddock or any other restricted access areas. In these areas, it is requested by Formula 1 that fans or attendants do not wear any racing team attire, racing suits, or any offensive or inappropriate clothing. The attire for these areas is usually smart or smart casual.
The most vital thing to remember when deciding what to wear to an F1 race is to dress comfortably. Even if you are allowed access to the most prestigious areas of the event, you will still be doing a lot of walking, and you will be exposed to the weather for the majority of the event, so be sure to wear clothes that accommodate this.
