Beer prices at F1 British Grand Prix get mixed reviews by fans at Silverstone

The price of beer and water has been revealed for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone - with mixed reviews. Heineken is an official sponsor of the sport and so is made available for purchase at most F1 events. Last year, at one refreshment area on the outside of Copse Corner, a pint of the Dutch draught drink cost £7.70, but this year it has gone up to £7.85.

F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali predicts that over 500,000 people are expected through the gates over the whole event.

That would be an increase of 20,000 punters compared to last year. But those who are returning face some slight price increases with pints more expensive than they were at the 2024 event.

A pint of Amstel beer or Inch's cider costs £7.50 or a Heineken will set you back £7.85. Halves are £4.30 and there's an offer for four draught pints for £28 - which would save you £3.40 on a round of Heineken.

A double vodka with Red Bull will set you back £20 and a 150ml cocktail is £10. Soft drinks are comparatively reasonable with £3.50 for Coca-Cola, Sprite or Fanta but a 500ml water costs an eye-popping £5.

Some F1 fans weren't happy with the price of water, Kerry wrote on Twitter : "Silverstone: ‘it’s really warm, stay hydrated’. Also Silverstone: ‘that’ll be five GBP for a bottle of water’."

But others were satisfied with the price of beer. BillEBoy wrote: "Less than £8 a pint is the norm these days." And livinitup added: "You know what you’re signing up for when you buy your ticket; and at those ticket prices, it’s not as if they can’t afford it!"
