Watching F1 at Williams

[Longers]

Hi

I am thinking about buying my daughter (a big F1 fan) a ticket to watch one of the 2021 GPs at Williams for her Christmas present. Link HERE.

Has anyone done this? My daughter will be 15 by then so I'm not sure she will appreciate the "5-star catering" at that age but I'm wondering if it'll be worth it for the rest of the experience?

Thanks in advance.

Wasn't aware they did that, looks like an enjoyable day out to me and reasonable value if the catering is decent.

That's what I was thinking.

Ideally I'd take her to a full F1 weekend somewhere like Silverstone or, preferably, on a road trip to Spa seeing as they're both during the school summer hols but we've already made family holiday plans for those weeks.

What a nice present and very good value indeed - almost unbelievable that it includes catering and activities such as a simulator session and a full tour!

Provided your daughter actually is an F1 fan and this isn't just for you

That looks awesome. I was just thinking what my father might like for Christmas!

Is this a new idea for 2021, or did they do it last year as well? Would be good to hear from someone who’s been there. The factory tour, free bar and watching the race with the support team makes it seem like a good value day out.

I’ve been to a conference at Williams before and it was very good.

I can’t see prices - just PDF’s of each event.

where's the price / how do you book? can't see it

Full English, free bar, buffet lunch, £200, seems good value to me!

Prices and features vary by race but looks like it'll make a great gift.

That’s a superb gift!

Snap - but sent it to a friend who could see it, Silverstone is £250 and Azerbaijan £150 - will be booking Azerbaijan as I like that race.

And maybe a deeper F1 experience and certainly more civilised than the same £££ buys you to watch live at Silverstone...

Excellent value really.

Not sure when this started it but it's been available for the last 2-3 years I've been thinking about it

Prices are in the PDFs - they vary depending on the race

[Longers]

So everybody thinks this is a good idea... that nobody from here has done yet!

I think I'm going to get it booked before the rest of you grab all of the places

Ffs. It’s been a long week

I've been to Williams to watch one of the races, I would recommend it.

Food is good, free bar, museum tour is excellent, games room with consoles and a sim type experience (which was very hard), driver interview before the race, plus lots of people to chat to with the same interest. Must admit both my dad and I nodded off during the race (we weren't the only ones) I blame the dinner and free bar. Don't know what his excuse was as he was driving

Don't worry, it took me a while to find the £s as well!

I’m sorting it tomorrow- watch out for free bar vs cash bar. I’ll let this thread know which one I’m heading to incase we can have a PH beer.
