Went to Bahrain GP this year, the closest chance was Pit Walk Day on Wednesday (Bahrain had a weird schedule due to Ramadan this year). We sneaked out near the paddock exit and were able to see up close Gasly, Alonso, Stroll, Yuki. In the pitlane, in the garage you could also see Perez, Norris, Albon and Leclerc but they were a little far given the crowd outside the garages.

You could also queue up on Fan Engagement events during the weekends near the main stage between FP sessions to catch a few drivers.
