After a disastrous trip to Hockenheim a few years back, it’ll be a while until I go to another GP.
As a special gift for my wife, I got us tickets for the whole weekend for 700€. What to do with the kids? We’ll work something out. We decided to take them with on Saturday, and have them visit friends on Sunday.
With three little kids, sharing the shuttle bus ride with the drunk fans was real fun. Walking kilometers in the heat till we got to our seats was fun. Sitting in the sun with the nagging kids - getting a bit aggro. We thought it wouldn’t get much worse after standing in line for ages with hungry kids to get something to bite. Even calling friends to arrange Sunday didn’t work out, because the phone network was overloaded.
By then everyone (especially the kids) wanted to just get home as fast as possible. We decided to watch the race in the comfort of our living room. I tried selling our tickets, finally got the attention of some drunk guys that offered us 70€ for the tickets. Better than nothing. God, I felt just all around awful.
Didn’t improve the mood that the youngest kid had a seizure in the parking lot.
