I'm hoping to go to Monaco next year to watch the F1 with my son who will be 10.
Can anyone give me a recommendation for where to sit?
I've been looking on here:

I think it would be useful to have a view of a big screen, but any advice would be welcome.
Strangely the child seats are the same or more than the adult seats!

Thanks.

I've always felt that many of the grandstand seats are fairly poor in Monaco - if it's sunny you're burnt to a crisp, if it's wet then you get drenched. A big screen is a big asset, as is making sure you're there on Saturday night when the fun really happens - it's what 10 yr olds dreams are made of wink

I've opted for tribune K on the basis of some reviews and a bit of internet research. It will be my first time at a GP so hope i've made the right choice!

As i'm disabled, I opted for aisle seats, as it will be easier access for me hopefully!

Thanks gents. I don't think Saturday night will be possible, intriguing as it sounds!
I know what you mean about the grandstands, but I think it's important we have seats booked rather than just roaming around aimlessly.

Tribune K came up in some other posts I was reading too, so maybe that's one to go for.
James, do you mind me asking where you got your ticket from? Are all the websites similarly priced?

Me and some mates did Monaco this year. We were at Z1 which was good. It wasn't allocated seating so if you moved you lost your spot, but there was plenty of places for food etc all of which were good.

If your going make sure you go on the Friday before. There's racing and the put walk all if which are available if you have a Sunday ticket. This is great as Friday is pretty quiet and some good racing in the morning. You can sit in any of the stands too.

I went with BookF1 also. They were very helpful and gave me good advice considering my condition smile
