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.
Yeah I'm sure those prices were only in the snooty boxes where the rich accumulated to be seen--hot dogs were available outside I bet.

And not surprised with Hamilton--he seems to really like stuff for fans and was the only one happy to see LL Cool J. The introduction was cringy but way less cringy than I expected it to be.
