I actually had to leave before the end to make our flight, but like you say I felt I'd seen the highlights in the build-up, the setting up on the grid and the race start. It's hard to get excited about the race as a spectator when you're relying on the screen. The memorable part of the race for me is the atmosphere and the noise, rather than the competition for places. Thanks Adventure King.

A few years back I was in Vancouver for an Indy Car race and I was practically deafened by the whine of the engines. I'm not an F1 purest and find the whole spectacle wears a little thin after the initial crash fest of the first lap. Though I'm sure if I could score an invite onto one of the yachts my enhusiasm would pick up... Interesting to hear point four.
