It has taken all of his savings and all of his annual leave - but this Formula 1 fan has almost completed his challenge.

Brandon Burgess, from Bournemouth, decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of travelling to every single race around the world for the 2025 F1 season.

Sticking to his budget of £20,000 and using his 28 days of annual leave, he has nearly managed it.

As a result of his success, Mr Burgess has been awarded F1's first ever official season ticket for 2026.

The ticket was presented to him by world champion, Max Verstappen.

Mr Burgess is headed to Las Vegas for the next race and says he has about £3,000 left of his budget.

He said receiving the season ticket for next year was "mind-blowing" and he's excited to take on the challenge for a second time.
