What a fun 3 days. It was so weird to be at a Closed Door Grand Prix. Walking around areas that usually would have food vans, being near a concert area that was empty and the grandstands that were bare. Once cars were on track though, you didn't really notice until something happened, such as Hamilton's spin in quali. The lack of crowd reaction was really noticeable.
No big screens and no commentary meant we had no idea what was going on elsewhere on the track, so we just had to use osmosis or glance at the Autosport Live commentary if there was a big enough gap in the traffic.
Crazy race. Kvyat's crash was utterly insane, glad he was alright and I hope they stick some tyres on that wall in the future.
The last few laps, absolutely insane. Bottas's tyre down was the first bit of craziness, and then Hamilton's went right in front of me. Due to the lack of commentary I had no idea that was the last lap, so had no idea where he'd finished in the slow down lap.
Absolutely insane and I hope Pirelli don't bottle it and make sure they keep the softer compounds for next week. It will force the teams to 2 or even 3 stop their drivers, which would make the race fantastic!
It's so weird to come home from a Grand Prix and know I'll be going back next week!!!
