The track is one of the most challenging tracks in F1 and is the most expensive circuit on the calendar. I think that most of the money must have been spent on the hospitality boxes etc (ala wembley) as I was quite dissappointed by the facilities and there was hardly any stands or stalls, such as those you get at European grandprixs. We sat on corner 6 which usually wouldn't be the best location but due to the weather we had some pretty big crashes in front of us which kept us all entertained. Even the girls, whom weren't really looking forward to it seemed to get quite into it -
although that might have just been because they thought Jenson Button might win! WHen the force india crashed right in front of us you could actually feel bits of schrapnel from the car scatter in the air around you - quite cool.
My 10p umbrella didn't quite make the entire 56 laps of the race - giving up about lap 35 so I got completely drenched. Carsten and I kept ourselves well stocked up on beer though - no matter how wet you get , as long you have a evefrything is OK! Carsten sang a few german F1 related songs in honour of Vettle which went down quite well - and then we all got to sing the British National Athem because Red Bull were the winning contractor.
The day after the Wedding was the Chinese Grand Prix. The weather had been fine all week and was beautiful on the saturday. Even until noon on the sunday they sun was out and it was reasonably hot. As soon as we took our seats in our uncovered grandstand it started to pour down with rain - and it didn't stop all day. It made for a great race (as the drivers could barely see where they were going) but it also made for some pretty soggy spectators.
