Transport options to the British Grand Prix
May 20, 2025
Want to experience the podium celebration if you are going to Formula 1? The national anthem, the champagne spray, th the crowd — it’s a moment many F1 fans would love to see and be a part of. But not every ticket gets you close to the celebration.
If you're planning a trip to a Grand Prix and want to end your weekend by watching the podium ceremony in person, here are some of the best ticket options across the calendar that will get you there.
The Main Grandstand at COTA is your best bet for catching the full post-race experience. It sits right opposite the start/finish line and faces the podium, which is located above the team garages.
Not only do you get views of the race start, pit stops, and final laps, but you're also in a prime position for the trophy presentations. After the race, fans in this grandstand are among the first allowed onto the track for the post-race track invasion, letting you get even closer to the action.
Over in Canada, Grandstand 1 offers a similar advantage. Located right along the start/finish straight, it puts fans directly opposite the pit lane and podium. The energy here is electric, especially on race day when the atmosphere builds toward the final lap.
If you're looking to be part of the celebration in Montreal, this is the spot to book — though tickets here tend to sell out early due to its location and views.
Monza takes the podium ceremony to another level — quite literally. The podium is suspended above the pit lane, and after the race, thousands of fans flood the track to gather beneath it.
If you want a front-row view of this iconic moment, Grandstand 26 (Laterale Destra) is the place to be. It lines the main straight and gives you quick access to the podium area once the track opens for fans. Monza’s podium celebrations are some of the most intense and emotional in F1, and this grandstand puts you right at the heart of it.
While these three offer some of the best podium views, several other races also provide great access:
If you’re after something a little more premium, Paddock Club and team hospitality suites often offer elevated views of the podium and pit lane. These experiences are more expensive but come with added comfort, food, and exclusive access — including guided pit lane walks and, at some races, direct podium access areas.
Seeing the podium ceremony in person is a great experience. Whether you’re watching from a grandstand opposite the podium or standing on the main straight in the crowd, it is someting I guarantee you would love.
Be sure to book early, as these grandstand tickets tend to sell out quickly. And if you're comparing options across multiple providers, use our F1 tickets search engine — we make it easy to find the right seats, from general admission to the best podium-view tickets on the calendar.
