When to book F1 race tickets
The best time to book an F1 race ticket is, well, as early as possible. Securing your tickets six to 12 months in advance can unlock early bird discounts and prime seat selections. If you haven’t booked yet, don’t worry — tickets are often available up to a month before the race. Just keep in mind that prices may be higher and seat choices more limited by then.
There are three types of ticket categories you can pick from: General Admission (the most pocket-friendly of the lot), Grandstand (reserved seats with panoramic track views), and Hospitality/VIP class tickets (which come with luxe perks like food and drinks, paddock tours, and more!)
