Really looking forward to it. Planning on leaving at 5am on Friday so as not to sit in so much traffic this year.

I've bought Grandstand tickets for the first time this year too. Any recommendations on which ones are worth sitting in?

3 Days, 20 Hours and 47 minutes!. Wonder if the Sculpture's going to be a big one?. The last couple of years haven't been the best. The Toyota one was good.
Apparently it's Alfa which considering the fact it's 60 years of F1 as well, is surprising.. I know which one I would have plumped for... having said that, seeing them driving is probably better.

hehe I guess a centenary (that's 100 years) trumps 60 years.
