Alternatives to watching from the stands
Here are some of the alternatives we've come across this year for watching the Grand Prix. Many of the restaurants around the track offer drinks and lunch and a roadside view of the cars. There are also restaurants that provide entertainment with food whilst watching from giant television screens.
