What is the cheapest F1 race to attend? Weekend prices crunched for 2025 with surprise venue cheapest

The new F1 season isn't far away, with more intriguing storylines than ever making it one not to miss.

After spending his whole career with Mercedes power, Lewis Hamilton makes a huge switch to partner Charles Leclerc at Ferrari. And his place at the Silver Arrows has been taken by a rookie in the shape of Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Max Verstappen will have a new teammate at Red Bull in Liam Lawson, with the Dutchman winning the 2024 championship despite having a car plagued with issues - whilst McLaren's lineup of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri looks to be the strongest on the grid.

However if fans hope to see the action live a circuit they better get saving, with a weekend at the British GP at Silverstone setting the average punter back almost €900. Incredibly that is one of the cheapest races on offer - according to figures compiled by SlotsUp’s Free Demo Slots Collection, who crunched the numbers ahead of the 2025 season.

They looked at the average cost of a ticket for both Saturday and Sunday, weekend hotel prices for two adults at each race as well as factoring in the average costs for meals, drinks, transport, and other common expenses. And it was the Japanese GP at the historic Suzuka Circuit that came out on top, with a weekend costing fans on average €384.68 each.

China was the next most affordable round, coming in at €465.98 per person on average. Those who don't fancy a trip to the Far East meanwhile would have to fork out an eyewatering €775.75 for a weekend at the Spanish GP in Barcelona, Europe's cheapest event. At the other end of the scale, it would be little surprise that Monaco was the most expensive - with a glamourous weekend on the French Riviera setting back punters around €2,971 each.
