There are loads of places for the public to go, you can walk the entire circuit on the outside and there are some good photo opportunities there.

Good fun day out, the sound of the F1 cars is immense

Good to see a lot of teams out there as well

Nice to meet a PHer or two and also to get into the paddock area.

Managed to see Coulthard and Jenson Button too!

Great Day!

A case of knowing the right person to be honest. I knew someone who had McLaren hospitality tickets (£110 a pop) who got us into the paddock for free. Saw a few of the drivers, had our complimentary red Bulls from Red Bull Racing and talking to some of the pit crews! Good fun!
