As expected, after today's organisational disaster at the track, the missus has bailed for tomorrow.

So I have a pass for tomorrow, qualifying and all the support stuff (and the Kings of Leon gig) - if you can either meet me in Al Barsha at 9:30am or at the track (South Grandstand at around 11ish - the pass is yours free gratis - I don't want it to go to waste.

PH meet tomorrow? Bar in the F1 Village is the only place it would be manageable.

Say after 1st F1 qualifying?
