• Stay hydrated – There are plenty of vendors for water and soft drinks, but lines can be long. Bring a refillable bottle if allowed, and hydrate throughout the day.
• Pick smart seats – If you’re in Grandstand H, Main Grandstand, or up on the third floor, bring binoculars for the best view of the pit lane and first corner.
• Know your access points – Entrances are clearly marked, but if you're coming from Barcelona, the Montmeló train station is your best bet. From there, it’s about a 30-minute walk or a short shuttle ride to the circuit.
