Where to sit
Six ticket categories, and the gap between the cheapest and the dearest is more than three times the price. What that money buys you is a different view of a different part of the lap, not a better race.
Side by side

Hospitality
Four hospitality packages go on sale for the grand prix weekend. None of them publish a price, so every one is quoted on application and none can be compared here on cost. Treat hospitality as a separate decision from a grandstand seat rather than as the top of the same ladder: what you are buying is catering, seating and access across three days, not a better view of the race.

These four are on one page rather than four, because four pages carrying a name and a sentence each would be padding, and we would rather not publish padding.
How we rate these
Prices, dates and categories on this page are sourced and dated. Everything about what a seat is like to sit in is our reading of the circuit layout, and is marked as judgement rather than fact.
In practice that means seat descriptions here are built from the circuit layout and the official category listings, not from having sat in all six. Where we have not sat in a stand we describe what the position shows you and stop there, rather than inventing a sight line.
Shade is marked "not stated" wherever the circuit and the sellers do not publish it. In a country where an afternoon session is genuinely hot, guessing that is not a small thing to get wrong.
If you have sat in one of these stands and we have it wrong, tell us and we will correct the page and say what changed.
