Skipping this year for the first time. Headed to Ferrari weekend the week after.
Enjoy it. If you're getting autographs, line up early for the more popular drivers. If you're doing the fan grid walk before the big race, try to get on the grid with all the drivers. It gets crazy but it's fun. Corkscrew gets packed for the big race but the supporting races are ok up there. Quite a few eye candy but last year was the worse of "umbrella girls" I've seen in years.

yep, turn 4 stands, for an hour, walk around very slowly up to the corkscrew, beer+hour~ walk back down get food, repeat and end up finishing off at the corkscrew then running over the edge to see the finish.
