So after many many years of wanting to go to the F1 GP I'm finally going in 2012.
I'm only able to go for the Sunday race day and was wondering whether to get general admission or a seat in the Schumacher stand (near pit entry, final 2 turns). Is there anyone out there that can advise me either way? Any good spots to sit in general admission or better to spend the extra coin and get a seat in the stand?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to see the race. Get a seat. You can get away with GA on the sat like I did this year but on race day it would be a nightmare.
I went in 2008 & sat on the burm on the exit of turn 2 to the straight down to 3. Â I didn't see much.

The same year a few mates found seats around turns 13, 14 & 15 & said they had a great time. Grand stands were almost empty & they saw the cars turning the corners slow, entering the pits with punchers & no wings. Would have been a much better place to watch
Steve,
If going General Admission, the grass hill on the Golf Course (in front of the camera boom) opposite Turn 10 is worth a shot - a fair way from food and booze outlets though.Â
If going Grandstand, middle of the Brabham Stand or south end of Jones Stand. Lash out and invest in a Grandstand seat - you will not be dissapointed. Grandstands have food, booze and dunnies close by. If you end up at Jones or Brabham you can get out onto the track as soon as the safety car has passed and watch the trophy presentation from the start grid. We do that every year.
I've missed going to about 4 GP's since 1985 - always regretted it. Watching it on the telly is like masturbation - ok at the time but never memorable!!
