[@nickkaravias1796]

@@James-js2wg jones and waite are my favorite for enjoying the cars and action. Last corners Schumacher and prost are pretty good. Fangio is good for being close to the grid action with anthems, entertainment, cars getting prepared before the race and podium celebrations, but I personally don't enjoy the cars just going in a stright line past me. But I do recommend doing the fangio at least once for the experience of race day.

@@nickkaravias1796we are at Fangio straight across from the podium (literally the steps are at eye height).

@Dom Thanks so much for the vid. Ive subbed and liked. May I please ask. What about the Ricciardo Stand? Will be going for our first time in '23. Ive read your comments about the Fangio Stand and I love the sound of that spot. However, Im taking my wife and 15 year old daughter and they both want to be in a grandstand under cover. Theres a few options with cover. I have a friend who used to race open wheelers and he says go Ricciardo Stand for the turns, the under cover and the catering area and bar. Yours and anybody elses thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks again.

[@MrDom257]

Ok mate, well the 1st thing i have to tell you is that the Ricciardo stand that is undercover is actually the Ricciardo Suites, its a corporate hospitality stand with a bar and food, but your looking at $2595 pp for 3 days. Im not sure if thats what you want and how much you want to pay but im assuming thats the stand your friend is refering to. The actual Ricciardo grandstand (which is new) is now next to the Ricciardo suites and is partially undercover. This stand will have a "premium" under cover section, but just a seat, no bar, no food options like the suite. Your other undercover options for you too choose from are the Piquet stand, which is fully covered, also in this video. And there are a few other grandstands that have "premium" sections which are under covered areas, Fangio, Prost, Schumacher and Senna. Of course, "premium" seats are more expensive, but if undercover is what you want, these are your only options. I hope ive helped. Let me know if you have any more questions. If you love the sound of the Fangio stand, you can have it! And your wife and daughter will be under cover as well, so every1 is happy! 🙂

Huge F1 old(er) fan hereThank you for this excellent recap of track viewing. Loved you still images as well. I have been to 6 different F1 races and tracks and coming here in 2023. I sure I want to be in Brabham. My 3) questions 1) What happens on Thursday? Isn't all the F1/2 and 2 action on Fr/Sa/Sun. Yes it would be great to walk around and view all the turns, but Im coming a long way and my wife could be sitting in our Airbnb for 4 days vs 3 is a big ask :-) I can still walk around on Friday to get a layout of the track 2) What section and height up would you recommend for Brabham? I think I want to be more in your first video of Brabham (closer to T1 vs T2) to see the fight for the apex and maybe as high as possible to get the fencing out of my sight line. 3) With ticket pre-sales do you think I stand a chance of getting these seats? Any insight is greatly appreciated (section and row)and many thanks in advance. Absolutely no rush on a reply.

[@MrDom257]

Hey Jeff. Ok. I hope i give you the answers you want 👍👍. Thursday is all support catagories. This will be the 1st year that F2 and F3 will be on the timetable, so im gonna assume they will also have a session on Thursday, but im not exactly sure of that. But either way, there is def no F1 on Thursday, except the drivers coming in for media interviews so you will see them arrive in the Melbourne walk area. For me, section F on Brabham is best as you see the cars the longest because from that section you can watch them go down towards turn 3. If you want to clear the fence you have to get a seat up high towards the back rows. If its only you that is going you should have a good chance at getting the seat you want as long as you are online as soon as the tickets go on sale. If there were a few of you id say maybe you will struggle, but single seats should be easy to find.

Hi Elysia. Senna stand is ok but not that great compared to alot of others in my opinion.

[@MrDom257]

Hi Bree. Have you watched the video to see the views from these stands? Imo the Schumacher stand is great, 1 of my favourites and ive sat there for a few gp weekends in the past. It is 1 of the few stands where you get to see the cars for longer than usual as they go through the final 2 corners. Imo it is much better than the Senna stand. As far as getting a Park Pass its totally up to you. It all depends on whether your the type who likes to move around and watch the cars from different corners. But just bare in mind that besides a few concrete blocks, there is no seating at all. I have included a couple of Park Pass spots in this video including the best view imo which is at the exit of turn 2. You will get to see the 1st 2 corners from this position and you are set on a hill. But also dont forget that you can do both. These days you are now able to book a 1 or 2 day pass on a grandstand, then you can get a Park Pass for the other 2 days. There is alot more choice these days. Hope my answer helps. 🙂

Hey Luke. Hill is abit better because its facing turn 3 front on so you can see the cars come down into the corner, and theres normally alot of overtaking in there which from the Ricciardo stand, u wont see it until the overtake is allready done. But Ricciardo is still a good grandstand. If u have a lower budget, personally i think the best grandstands are Schumacher, Prost, and then maybe Waite, as that section of the track is awesome to watch an F1 car go through.

Hey Sebastian. Premium seats are "undercover" at the top part of the grandstand. If you look closely at the 1st part of this video you will see the premium section. These are pretty much the best seats on the grandstand as they are high, under cover and only limited to about 5 rows with more leg room. Aisle seats are simply seats that are near the aisles for easy access. I believe the 1st 4 seats nearest the aisle are considered aisle seats, so consider this when you are picking and buying your prefered seats. Hope ive answered your question.

Some people say it was like 15 minutes, others claim that they were able to buy after several hours. Would be amazing if you could help out. Thanks

[@MrDom257]

@@induce6645 From memory, in the pre sale for this years race the grandstand seats lasted the few days that they were on sale, but you were limited on what seats you could choose which I wasn't happy about because I wanted to pick my exact seats, not pick only what they offered. When it went on sale to the public most of the grandstand seats were gone within 15mins. General Admission lasted a few days from memory. The Sunday tickets sold pretty quickly, then Saturday after that was also gone. The only seats that lasted a while were scattered grandstand seats on Friday only. But they were not popular because it was only single seats here and there. The next pre sale in my opinion will be a lot busier because a lot of people have joined the Access 23 program which gives you pre sale access for next years tickets, so it will be even harder. But as I said, make sure you are ready to go with multiple devices as soon as they go on sale.

Hey mate. There are 3 screens that spread out across the main straight in front of the Fangio stand. All depending on how high up the grid you want to be will depend on which section. If you look at the view from where I film in section F, you will see I'm right in front of a screen and the fourth row of the grid. There's also a screen in front of sections A, B and C which is at the front of the grid. Hope that helps 🙂

[@MrDom257]

Hey Alisa. Did you watch the video and see all the different grandstand views? If you see them all im sure you will be able to pick a view that you really like and that suits what you want. I only like Fangio grandstand during qualifying and the race because being in front of pit boxes during those sessions is when all the action happens and the best spot to see the drivers up close, also the pit stops, interviews, celebrities, and of course the podium. My 2nd favorite spots to watch the cars actually race is on the Schumacher grandstand, or the Brabham grandstand in section F. I hope this answer helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you need to know anything else. I hope you get tickets and have an amazing time 🙂

Hey Jack. If you want overtakes, definately turn 1, either Jones or Brabham, i prefer Brabham. Turn 3 Piquet. Turn 11, The Pinnacles or Webber stands. Turns 12 and 13, Lauda and Schumacher is rare to get some overtakes in F1 at these spots, but it can happen sometimes. Prost is a great stand as you have a view of the last 2 corners and pit straight. This is the grandstand where you will see the cars for the longest length of time, but hardly any overtaking.

[@santiagoduque685]

Hi Dom First time going a to Formula GP, I was wondering if its worth it to get the general admission ticket just to hang around different spots of the track. Also, checked the Grand Prix website and there is no "General Admission", is it now called park pass? Thanks

[@day.brakeF1]

It's called Park Pass. Btw buying a grandstand ticket also gives you general admission.

[@MrDom257]

Hi Santiago. Yes Gondamar is right, it is now called Park Pass and they will go on sale 6th December. Park Pass is great if you dont want to sit in the 1 spot the whole time and view different corners, but be aware that these days, the grand prix gets a very large crowd and unless you are there early, it will be abit hard to get good spots or close to the barrier so you can see the cars clearly without obstruction. This is why buying a grandstand seat is always a better option because you dont have to worry about it, your spot is always there for you and there is no1 in front of you getting in your way. But of course it all depends on what your budget is as well. But definately if you cant afford a grandstand ticket then yes a Park Pass is great, especially for your 1st time. Let me know if you end up getting a ticket and ill tell you the best spots to watch the cars from.
