Although reigning champion Max Verstappen proved himself against a whole host of contenders in 2024, the Dutchman did not have things all his own way, experiencing a lengthy winless run mid-season, allowing others to take advantage.

Over the 10 grand prix weekends where Verstappen languished further back in the pack, six different drivers took the top spot on the podium, providing great entertainment and on-track battles for F1 fans around the world.

Which was the best grand prix in 2024?

Despite Verstappen's stunning return to the top in a masterclass at Interlagos, the GPFans Poll for the best grand prix of 2024 has swung away from the Dutchman, instead crowning another worthy victor.

Instead, it was the British Grand Prix that stole 59 percent of the vote after Hamilton's stunning win in front of his adoring home crowd.

Verstappen's heroics in Brazil claimed just 36 percent of the votes, meaning it was a big win for Hamilton and the British GP.

Other contenders included the Italian Grand Prix, where Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won in front of the Tifosi, but this gained just three percent of the vote.

The 2024 British GP is a worthy winner, with Hamilton breaking his own long-held winless record in what was his final home race with Mercedes.

The 39-year-old now heads to Ferrari in the hope of challenging for an elusive eighth world championship title, alongside his new team-mate Charles Leclerc.
