I would love to know more about this as a whole... did you watch it from one grandstand or could you move around? did you stay 'at the track' for the whole race or did you go to a hotel at night? What were your food options there? How did you deal with the rain? Get a chance to check out the other stuff there, like the amusement rides or the Ferris Wheel? Etc.Fantastic race, an amazing time all around. Hope I can come back next year

Moved around a little bit - I hurt my foot Saturday walking from the circuit tram station to my grandstand, but I still made a bit of an effort (I'm no Fabio Scherer though
) - I stayed at the track from about 2pm Saturday to 5:30pm Sunday, I pretty much commuted from my cousins' apartment in Paris since the hotels/airbnbs were all completely booked out a long time ago.In general you can't walk around the entire circuit anyway, and I covered pretty much all the places I could walk - from Tertre Rouge down to the Porsche curves. There's free buses that can take you down to Mulsanne corner and Indianapolis/Arnage, but that's the extent of it. The inside of the track has a few good viewing areas - especially the hill near Tertre Rouge.
Food options weren't bad, the usual hot dogs/burgers but also salads, sandwiches, croissants, crepes etc. Plenty of drinks offered everywhere though haha.
I got mostly lucky in that I was in the grandstand for most of the rain during the first few hours of the race, and the entirety of it is covered. When I tried to wander around around 11pm, I got caught out, had a rain jacket though and it was a pretty short storm. I only saw two rides in the amusement area including the ferris wheel, but it was raining so I just wanted to head back to my seat instead of wait in line.

He just went to the hospital a few hours ago, he doesn't seem to be in a rush but we'll find out soon enough

Should we really be surprised? 
This race was never intended for F1 fans... it's one big promo event for the sport.
And it being the inaugural race, they're gonna squeeze every drop they can.
North Americans wanna watch F1? Go to COTA, Mexico or Montreal.
I'm sure COTA will be a much better experience for the race.

They're all getting pretty expensive, that's why I'm just focusing on the races I want to see in Europe now. GA for COTA alone this year is like $500.

I know right.Guaranteed dry race
But imagine the Red Bulls going off in the rain and someone else getting a chance at a win.

I've been imagining for nearly a year now - was really hoping it would be the case when I was at the race in Barcelona, so LH could get one

Definitely Stroll - he still has almost no spatial awareness on track
Probably Bottas (even though George was at fault in the Imola crash) and Magnussen (way too many incidents last year)

I think Lance is the worst.
Maybe Yuki as well?
I don't think Bottas is that bad.
