I'm thinking about seeing the finale on the big screen (probably Covent Garden or Greenwich).

If you've been before, what was it like? Was there a commentary and was it a better overall experience?

£10 entry - Worth it?

Also saw the Brit GP at Vue.

There was a bit of pre-amble but nothing like the terrestrial coverage IMO. Race commentary not great either. Some of the camera angles were new - plenty more on-car shots and the wrist cams for the pit stops etc - but have since been seen on the ITV footage. No atmosphere given you're sharing with strangers.

But that said, think it was ok value for money and might go again for Brazilian GP - the lack of ad breaks makes a big difference, as did lack of interruption from MiniMes.

Some friends of mine saw the British GP at a cinema and enjoyed it - I think Jonathan Palmer was one of the commentary team. For the British they seemed to have something more like the circuit TV feed than the ITV feed - not sure what feed they would show for Brazil?

What a joke, I just noticed it's £10 at Greenwich and £15 at Covent Garden.
