Im sure someone will get it for me for Christmas. If you want details of his year with Brawn he did release a book just after he won which was really good.
Had a few interesting races lately.
McLaren, full distance, difficulty around 80 (cant remember exact figure)
Monaco- After performing teriibly in practice sessions I had absolutley no expectations for quali or the race. I also kept all my very worn power unit parts as well as gearbox as I thought I had no chance of points and also wanted to see the effects on the car for later reference… this turned out to be a massive mistake.
Quali was very wet and for some reason I felt much more comfortable in the car. No idea how but I got my first pole postion beating HAM by a whiskar.
The race was sadly dry and I decided to take the super rather than ultrasoft which everyone else took. My start was ok and I managed to hold my position. I was pushed every single lap by the cars behind for 20+ laps, there was a 10 car train behind me but they just couldnt pass. Then the problems started, my engine power went way down, the gearbox kept slipping- all sorts of things that made it impossible to concentrate and drive. After a small mistake Hamilton eventually got past. The other cars started pitting and the pressure went off a little but the car was pretty much undriveable. I wasnt enjoying it at all and was thinking to myself ‘you bought this game to have fun… are you really gonna finish all these laps?’
I gave up thinking lifes too short, I was ready to total the car into the wall then remembered you can sim the rest of the race (which I had never tried before) to my amazement the results came up and I got 8th place! Great result for the team! Altough I felt a bit dirty using the sim I was quite happy with the result on a track I hate.@henriette0908 Im sitting there too.
You want entrance C or B. If your coming by train then you can also get in at D but its quicker to walk on the outide and round to C.

… Did you even read my comment?
I was assured when buying for the first chicane that the track will be the same. Keith hasnt even mentioned it or replied to our questions about it for over a year. But believe what you want.
I was worried about this when booking tickets but after quite a bit of research I couldnt find anything accept for an old F1fanatic article which hasnt been mentioned since. I am pretty sure the track will be the same as usual.
Was so happy I was able to watch the British GP in my hotel in Beijing, China.
It was on a channel called Star Sports 2 and had the English sky commentary. It also showed all Formula E sessions.Hi @zimkazimka imo your best off on the inside of Paraolica. Your really close to the cars there and because of the angle of the corner you get a great view. There arent many screens for GA but there is one right at the exit of the corner but you will have to get there very early as it fills up fast.
They all sound good spots for you @fdrtu, 6a/b isnt that fast but alot happens there. 23a/b are quite good, you cant really see the corner but you get to see them slow down for the pit entry. (12) Ascari Tre is a great place to sit. Are you going general admission or booking a grandstand?
Sorry Ive just been looking at my pics from last year and I remembered it totally wrong! Your right its only the main straight that has seats with a backrest. This website shows it quite well.
https://www.grandprixevents.com/f1-races/italy/grandstand-viewsNo worries Keith.
@f1mre the main grandstands are in 2 parts, the higher seats have a full seat where as the lower half has benches. For example the grandstand at the first corner is 8a (seats) and 8b (benches). Where did you want to sit? The smaller stands are usually benches.
