I’ve only ever done silverstone for testing or Friday practice but have done Spa (twice), monza, Nurburgring, monaco and Barcelona, oh and Canada but that was a 30th bday treat.
we found looking for cheap flights (Barcelona is good for this), cheap hotel and not doing a package we got some good deals. Haven’t been for a few years as we have young kids, but I’d definitely recommend the European races. We drove to spa and it’s pretty doable especially if you live in the south east.

Thank you! (And to the others who replied )
I'd love to go to spa sometime it's my favourite also Canada as my partner's from there!
Costs can add up a bit travelling from NI unfortunately to get a decent deal we'd have to drive to Dublin or fly to one of the major cities (London/Manchester likely). But would be amazing.

Yep agreed- I think if they have a good year next year things could be different but I can’t imagine Gene wanting to continue investing in an F1 team if they have another shocker.
I know everyone talks about Latifi and Stroll being Pay drivers but although they’re maybe not WC material they aren’t half bad. Egghead is the literal worst and all the development work they’ve done for 2022 is wasted if he keeps up his ineptitude and actual just crappy behaviour. I feel so sorry for Mick I can’t even imagine what it’s like being stuck on a team with him.

Is mick locked into a deal? Do you think Williams would go for him?

Spa is my favourite too. Amazing circuit and nearly always a good race (this year aside).
Canada was fab too. I loved Montreal and really want to go back, just need a small lottery win first 🤣, it’s so easy to get the underground from Montreal out to the circuit and there was loads on during the evenings over the weekend, car demos etc.
we went the year of the 5 hour race that button eventually won. It was very wet! Loads of the teams missed their flights as it ended so late so were on our flight home on the Monday. My mum bagged herself a seat next to a senior Mercedes engineer!!! I was so jealous.

I went in 2008, so a long time ago I’m afraid. We sat opposite the pits which was great. No idea of cost sorry, it was too long ago, it was for my sister’s 30th so she chose the stand. We stayed in a hotel in the middle of Milan. There are trains direct to monza and you can get a bus or walk to the track from the station at monza. On the Sunday the train was free to the track. I assume that’s still the case. I guess as so many people travel it safer to put on free transport. After the race we walked the track back to the station and queued up. It was amazingly well organised on the Sunday and everyone queued perfectly and police/ train staff organised getting people on the train. hope that is of some use.

Umpfff I’m on the road for the next 2 hours with barely any network to watch F1TV, my anxiety’s skyrocketing and even more after seeing the news about Checo 🥺

Am I the only who has never liked rainy races? Like whats good in them... its more dangerous and you cant see shit, neither do they. More accident and red flag but at least saftey car always guaranteed. I've never understood those who wished for a rainy race, like whats wrong with them
