Comment of the day
Are you going to the Italian Grand Prix? graham228221 has some questions ? can you help?
Hey everyone, I?ve managed to persuade my girlfriend to let us tag on the Italian GP to our week-long Italian holiday. We?ve got general admission tickets and will be based in Milan over the race weekend.
This is my first GP, and I was just wondering how much information we?ll receive beforehand. Should we expect maps of the GA accessible areas around the circuit? How about a programme of timings for the support races and stuff? Is this something that we can get hold of beforehand or is it just a case of playing it by ear once we?re there? Thanks all!
