The prices are definitely looking to be just a cash grab at these races.
I used to get free tickets from my neighbour or work back in the 80’s.
I get a kick just listening to the absurdities I hear onsite from some of the spectators with no F1 let alone any racing knowledge.

I enjoy the local races at Tremblant for 20$ to 35$ including track side parking more that attending the F1 circuit.
Last year we had General admission F1 tickets and were quite discouraged there were no more good views of the track left that was $ thrown away.
I have grandstand tickets for the Friday practice this year just because I came across a good discount around new years.
I don’t really plan on getting a sore butt & back sitting on the bench all day as it is such a nice park
I walk around and the pits for support racers is still open & free and worth a looky.

I was disappointed In the Baku race.
Much of the action we had in previous races there never materialised.
Limited passing even with those long straights.
Those close walls were quite intimidating to see, I was afraid for my own paint just watching them do that for 50 laps.
