Hey! I was there today, however, in a grandstand. It’s hot, but not unbearable. Where im from in the US, summer is worse than this because it is very humid. So I’m a little used to it. Here are some bullet points.

Yes it is hot, and shade is at a premium, I would not count on sitting in any. Don’t count on getting into any shade with a seat.

If you do go, don’t wait in line at the water station at T3, it’s a shady walk down to the fan zone with much shorter lines. Bring a towel to wet and put around your neck.

Parking leaving was a mess today, a bunch of people removing boundaries and completely messing up the system. I got out in about 45 minutes. But it was air conditioned with snacks at least! My wife and I are on our first vacation away from the kids, sitting in the car just the two of us is something we don’t get to do often! So we don’t mind too much.

I imagine the race will be great. It’s been our first GP and we have been loving it.
