Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

I started getting into F1 a bit more in the past couple of years.
I remember thinking it might be a cool idea to try and go along to a race at Silverstone. Seemed like it would be a good day out.
Took one look at the prices and resigned myself to probably never going to an F1 race in my life, unless I suddenly come into vast amounts.of sustained wealth.
If I can offer some advice, just go on a Friday or Saturday. Way lower prices, it gives you a pretty good feel for the atmosphere, and there will probably be support series doing something as well. Watching races live is not very good anyway, it is not so easy to tell what is going on like on TV.
I've been watching my whole life and I've never seen a race live. I imagine it's a really cool event, but something like the British GP at least is more like a festival (holiday-level cost, camping, drinking, sun and rain, side events) where you get to half-watch the race (with much less detail than you'd see on the telly!)
Rather go to Goodwood instead.
