heard from a friend Team Tshirts were 3x the price of F1 website too. Clearly it was for the rich and famous, and Vegas promises to be even worse...

I saw someone post a video on Instagram attending the race, I believe she lives in Miami. They were in the cabanas. Literally all of the women were in no where near the railing to see the race and just standing in clusters talking to each other. Guys were not much better. Looked like no one was watching the race.
Then another photo posted by same person of a car in that turn. Caption read: "go team". Clearly no idea which team's car nor driver.
So yes, it is a social event much like going to a South Beach club where you get bottle service and try to look important.
*** also saw today that most of the drivers were unhappy about the orchestra intro of drivers pre-race. Hot, wearing our stuff, would prefer to prep with engineer, bla bla bla. The only driver that liked it was, wait for it and try to be surprised: Hamilton.
