TIPS FOR THE RACE WEEKEND

Here are some useful tips to make sure you get the most out of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Madrid.

• The first piece of advice is clear: get there early. This is especially true on Sunday during race day. Better than waiting in the queue is to enjoy the atmosphere of the race on the circuit, don't you think? The ideal time to arrive at the circuit is around 10 am. After all, the Grand Prix weekend programme is not only about F1 but also about the supporting series, such as Formula 2 or Formula 3, in which the biggest junior talents race.
• Plan what you will do, and where you want to go. If you're going with friends, bear in mind that, especially on Sundays, the mobile phone network on the circuit is overloaded and phone and data services may not work. Always arrange a rendezvous point where you can meet up if you get lost.
