We drove here all the way from Sweden just to watch formula 1 , and it was epic! An experience for life and a dream come true! Unfortunately the whole visit here to the circuit was NOT pleasant at all, the parking arrangement was a complete disaster!! I didnt matter if we bought 3 day parking in advance for 50 euro , there was absolutely no good service at all from the staff. The parking staff was rude, inexperienced it seemed and the whole planning of the parking was terrible! We had seats in area F, I bought them because om the map when booking o saw the parking was right outside, but when we got there that parking was apparently to the vip... so we had to park on literally the other side of the track! It took us at minimum one hour every day just to get to our seats, we missed so many races because of this. They didnt look at our tickets but just waved us forth and forth and forth. And then when we started to wave with our tickets they showed us down another path. One time a guy saw our seats and said go to h1 or h2 and when we got there another worker yelled at us because we were not supposed to be there, and EVERY TIME WE ASKED ,WHERE SHOULD WE GO?! they just waved at any direction and said basically "not here". It was infuriating!!! It honesty made us angry every day just getting in and out of there. Day 2 on Saturday we literally moved 30 meters in 2 hours! We have never been through anything like this. Horrible, im sad to say it ruined the experience on f1.
I will NEVER recommend this circuit to anyone for any events.
Sidenotes: cue for the water fountain was about 45 minutes, so we missed a few extra races. A 33cl water bottle cost 3.5 euro.
We had to show our tickets when leaving our seats...not just going into the area.. created unnecessary cues.
To end on a good note, the staff inside, selling merch were so kind and helpful!
