The 2023 Formula One World Championship reached its tenth round at Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire, England. Max Verstappen, driving for Red Bull, qualified on pole position, setting up a strong starting position for the race on 9 July 2023.
Verstappen converted his pole position into victory, leading the race ahead of Lando Norris's McLaren in second and Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes in third. A record 480,000 spectators attended across the weekend. It was Verstappen's first British Grand Prix win and Red Bull's first at Silverstone since 2012.
The result further extended Verstappen's championship lead in 2023. Dutch driver Nyck de Vries made his final Formula One start in this race; he was replaced at Scuderia AlphaTauri by Daniel Ricciardo from the Hungarian Grand Prix onward, effectively ending de Vries's F1 career to date.
