George Russell Follows Lando Norris in Getting Silverstone Grandstand
Fans will get a prime view of Turn 1 to Turn 4 as Silverstone opens Russell’s GRandstand after 16,000 packed Norris’s Landostand.
Silverstone announced that George Russell will have his own official GRandstand at Farm Curve for the 2027 British Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver secured the location at the exit of Turn one, offering fans prime views of the first four corners.
Russell previously joked about taking Lando Norris's popular 'Landostand' spot at Stowe, seeking a similar dedicated space for his home race. Norris debuted his stand previously, which packed out this year, prompting Russell to pursue his own.
The new GRandstand sits at the exit of Turn one, offering fans views of the first three corners and the overtaking spot into Turn four. Russell called it "a really, really cool place on the circuit" and "one of the best."
F1 drivers are increasingly receiving personal branding at home races, with Silverstone promoting individual driver grandstands to enhance spectator experience. This trend positions Russell and Norris as key attractions at the British Grand Prix.
Russell hopes to return to Silverstone as the reigning world champion in 2027, though his championship chances are fading after Kimi Antonelli's victory in Monza. The GRandstand debut will backdrop his pursuit of the title.
Mercedes Formula One driver George Russell, like world champion Lando Norris, will also receive a grandstand named after him at the Silverstone circuit. The Russell grandstand will be officially opened at next year's race and is located at the Farm Corner.
When F1 driver George Russell entered the podium in Monza, he got booed, but the Brit takes it easy, and announces a new addition to his home race in Silverstone in the 2027 season.
