The managing director of the British Grand Prix, Stuart Pringle, has issued a staunch defence of the ticket pricing for this year’s race, emphasising that the money made from the event is ploughed back into the circuit and British motorsport, after criticism from Lewis Hamilton and fans that the cost of attending was too high.
Last week the seven-time Formula One world champion Hamilton, who has a record eight victories at Silverstone, praised the event, which is just over a week away, but warned its prices might be untenable for families due to the cost of living crisis, an opinion echoed by fans on social media.
