Norris promises ‘bigger and better’ Landostand for 2026 British GP

McLaren’s Lando Norris has given his fans the news they’ve been waiting for: the Landostand will return to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in 2026 – and this time, it’s set to be “a lot bigger and a lot better.”

After clinching his first-ever home race victory at the venue last July, Norris is ready to crank up the excitement for his army of supporters at the iconic circuit.

The 2025 Landostand was a roaring success, selling out in mere minutes as fans clamored to cheer on their hero from the Stowe Corner grandstand. With tickets for 2026 on sale since September 15, the stage is set for an even more unforgettable experience.

From Breakthrough Win to Bigger Stands

“Hi everyone, so Landostand, as you all know, was the coolest thing we’ve ever done this year at Silverstone,” Norris wrote on an Instagram story earlier this week.

“Topped it off by winning the grand prix, and it was the coolest year I’ve ever had at Silverstone. But, the demand was high, and we couldn’t just do it once – we’re going to have to do it again.

“Because the demand was so high last year, we sold out in a few minutes. We have to do it a lot bigger and a lot better, so that’s what we’re trying to do for next year.”

Bigger Plans, Same Price

Planning for the expanded Landostand is already underway, and Norris is promising an upgrade across the board.

“Planning is already in place [for] much, much bigger grandstands, a much cooler experience for everyone, and I’m already excited for the whole thing,” he revealed.

“So, tickets are going out today [Monday 15 September]. It’s a very special day, for Landostand next year in Silverstone. I’m incredibly excited, it’s going to be amazing and thank you very much for your support.”

Fans who snap up a spot at Stowe Corner will receive more than just a seat. Packages include a three-day reserved grandstand pass, exclusive Landostand fan merch such as a tee and wristband, a dedicated Lando fan zone with entertainment, and a giant screen for race viewing

Furthermore, prices have been fixed “at the same price for all fans,” starting from £539.

With Norris currently locked in a thrilling title battle with McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri – who leads the standings with 324 points to Norris’ 293 – anticipation is growing that the 2026 British Grand Prix could see another electrifying homecoming for the McLaren star, perhaps even as F1’sreigning World Champion.

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend.

He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
