Transport options to the United States Grand Prix
August 1, 2025
Going to a Formula 1 Grand Prix can be a totally awesome experience, but for fans who speak English, trying to get by in a world where your mother tongue just isn't that common can make it so much more work—and so much less fun. Knowing you can communicate easily with everyone around you, not just in the obvious ways but also in a million little nonverbal ways, just makes life more comfortable, particularly when you're in a foreign country.
Fortunately, many of the F1 races staged across the globe are particularly friendly to traveling fans who speak English. From native English locales to their highly international counterparts, here’s a road map to some of the best Grand Prix weekends for enjoying the action without a language barrier.
The British Grand Prix at Silverstone represents the summit for fans who speak English. It is, quite simply, an English event, in every conceivable way, from the signage to the commentary to the food stalls to the customer service. For the bona fide English speaker, anywhere on the globe, that makes it a no-stress experience.
Supporters of the event also laud the "festival atmosphere" that is part of the overall event weekend. This atmosphere comes not only from the excellent viewing areas and from the very well-organized transport from the nearby train stations but also from all the on-track and off-track activities there are to enjoy during the weekend. Silverstone has such a long history with not only Formula 1 but with motorsport in general that one gets an undeniable festival feeling that one is part of something truly special.
Best for: English comfort, high-quality viewing, traditional F1 atmosphere.
The US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, in Austin, Texas, delivers an experience that marries fast-paced Formula 1 racing with the legendary hospitality of the state of Texas. One fact makes it even more accessible to the fans who attend the event: Everybody speaks English. It's the language of the circuit—from apps and signage to the food vendors and fan zones. It's even the language of the race itself, as the drivers converse with the pit wall.
The public transport system is somewhat basic, but shuttles and rideshare services give fans a way to get to the track. Once you’re at the track, you can hardly escape the food scene; all you have to do is go off the main pathway or around a bend, and you’ll be confronted with (mostly) great smelling food. Musically, COTA has a little festival vibe going on, which is only proper given Austin’s reputation as the Live Music Capital of the World.
Best for: North American fans, weekend-long events, music lovers.
The Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal is hosted in a French-speaking province, but English is widely used throughout the event. From metro signage to race-day announcements, you’ll find everything bilingual—and staff are well-versed in both languages.
The track is also easily accessible by public transport, with Montreal’s metro taking you directly to the circuit. This makes it one of the smoothest city-based race weekends, even if you're staying downtown.
Best for: Urban access, seamless transit, bilingual convenience.
The Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne is another native English-speaking event that ranks highly among international travelers. The street-circuit layout runs through one of the world’s most livable cities, with public transport, food, nightlife, and hospitality all easy to navigate in English.
Fans appreciate the clean, modern venue, clear signage, and well-managed crowd flow. For those flying in from abroad, the cultural familiarity and hospitality make this a very low-stress introduction to Formula 1 travel.
Best for: Long-distance travel, comfort and clarity, city-center racing.
The Singapore Grand Prix may not be in a native English-speaking country, but English is one of Singapore’s official languages. That makes the entire race experience—apps, commentary, signage, and public interaction—fully English-accessible.
As a street race, it also offers a scenic nighttime spectacle with the added benefit of easy hotel access, shopping, and entertainment within walking distance. While overtaking on track can be limited, fans love the vibe and convenience.
Best for: Night racing fans, first-timers in Asia, city-center access.
On F1 forums such as Reddit and TripAdvisor, fans who speak English regularly point to Silverstone, COTA, and Montreal as the easiest and friendliest races to attend. These same fans also beam about the combined F1 and urban perfection that is seen in both Singapore and Melbourne. If you're scoring at home, that's five races that consistently rack up the highest of fan grades.
The media in the world of motorsport often highlight that when it comes to street races such as Miami, Las Vegas, and Singapore, these events are excellent for converting new onlookers into fans and for enticing those with only a passing interest to attend. This is largely due to their accessibility and that extra factor of allure that seems to come with a street race.
At the same time, supporters who value racing in its most unadulterated form have to look beyond temporary setups to what appear to be the truly permanent circuits of the F1 world. Think Monza, Spa, Suzuka. And here, too, the English-language support can wax and wane, depending on the country in question, and how commonly English is spoken.
If complete comfort in your mother tongue is what you seek, Silverstone, COTA, Montreal, and Melbourne are your best options. If you want to choose a venue that is a bit more far-flung but still easily navigable in English, Singapore is a superb pick.
In the end, it comes down to the type of weekend you desire—whether it's unabashedly centered around racing or one that's more about urban exploration and adventure, with a sprinkling of motorsport. Either way, we promise you'll find the following destinations as F1-friendly as they are language friendly.
