Agreed x100. This is my 7th F1 race to see in Austin. I don't know if this year was better organized or I'm just used to the chaos by now but you have to really want to see F1 to put up with it. I know all major sporting events are a crowd and traffic mess but this always seems worse.

The race was great! There really is so much more to see in person. Tracking the ebb and flow and Max and Lewis' battle as seconds are gained and lost. Plus all the other battles on track which really do result in passes (usually into turn 12 or coming out of 13).
