OK, so this is the part where I admit that I have no meaningful pictures of the race itself. We couldn't really see all that much, but I was really impressed to be there in person and see all the F1 fans, plus to hear and feel the cars going by on the track. I'm glad we went.
Our spot was unfortunately mostly loose dry dirt, and by the end of the race a lot of our stuff was covered in dirt, worst of all Cat's feet.
As soon as the race was over, the fans started moving towards the fence to try and get onto the track. It was a very orderly invasion, as people lined up to go through the marshal access points. In other spots, people held the fencing open for each other as they improvised their own access points.
As we waited for our chance to get onto the track, we spotted this tow truck bringing Takuma Sato's car back after its rather untimely demise earlier in the race. Actually it crapped out twice in the race, which isn't all that common!
