In a wet qualifying session, Jimmy Eriksson claimed his maiden pole position, with championship leader Alex Lynn starting alongside him.{{cite web|date=5 July 2014|title=Jimmy Eriksson takes maiden GP3 pole in wet session at Silverstone|url=https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/29552/9372462/jimmy-eriksson-takes-maiden-gp3-pole-in-wet-session-at-silverstone|website=Sky Sports|access-date=16 April 2025}} Jann Mardenborough got the best start from fourth, but was forced wide by Lynn, allowing Eriksson to keep the lead. Lynn fought for the lead in the latter part of the race but Eriksson held him off, converting pole into his maiden win.{{cite web|date=5 July 2014|last=Allen|first=Peter|title=Eriksson holds off Lynn to win first Silverstone GP3 race|url=https://formulascout.com/eriksson-holds-off-lynn-to-win-first-silverstone-gp3-race/19489|website=Formula Scout|access-date=16 April 2025}} Marvin Kirchhöfer finished third.{{cite web|date=5 July 2014|last=Hensby|first=Paul|title=Eriksson holds off Lynn for first GP3 win|url=https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2014/07/eriksson-holds-lynn-first-gp3-win/|website=The Checkered Flag|access-date=16 April 2025}}

Dino Zamparelli started from reverse grid pole for race 2, but a poor start allowed Richie Stanaway to take the lead.
