Ahead of the new season, F1 photographer Kym Illman took to YouTube to reveal the costs of attending each Grand Prix on the calendar.
Explaining the procedure in his latest video, Illman stated that he used Hotels.com and GP Destinations to work out the combined cost for attending a Grand Prix with general admission (GA) tickets and four nights of accommodation. (Flights, Food and Beverage costs were not included)
It was also stated that prices for some Grand Prix are taken from 2025, as tickets for 2026 are yet to be put on sale.
