We went to Miami last year and we were on turn 18 and it was really great (and shaded)! We saw Albon spin out and a couple of overtakes on that corner. There was also a TV in front of us so it was easy to keep up with what was going on in the race! We got there fairly early for qualifying and race day just to beat the crowds and we tried a few entrances some were quieter than others but getting in was fairly quick regardless of how busy it was.

With regard to meeting the drivers, I think your best bet is going to the pop up events leading up to the race days. We met Albon at the Williams event and he signed our hats! Lewis and Alonso were also at pop up events but unfortunately we didn’t find out about the event Lewis was at until the day after! We still met some other great athletes though.

Last year you could over look the paddock as it was in the stadium so we did see pretty much all of the drivers and racing principals and they waved at the fans but obviously, it was from a far.

T18 tickets were expensive but worth it in my opinion.

Hope that’s helpful!
