As many people know I'm a huge fan of formula one and I have attended the British Grand Prix since 2013 so I thought I'll write about my experiences of going to the British Grand Prix.
I first attended the British Grand Prix back in 2013 as a 18th birthday present due to the Grand Prix being June 30th meaning it was one day after my birthday and I got up early and got the coach from Colchester at 5:45. I arrived at Silverstone just before GP2 now F2 race begins and hearing the engines of GP2 was amazing and before the race, I went to the fan zone and raced on a Segway and went on the McLaren 4d simulator. and I brought with my birthday money a Sebastian Vettel cap and a Red Bull racing shirt and then I took my seat for the race at farm curve and I was right by pit exit and hearing the V8 engines for the first time was amazing. The race was interesting and Hamilton suffered a tyre blowout but had an amazing recovery drive and the downside of the day was when Vettel suffered gearbox failure but overall I loved my first time at Silverstone.
I attended the Grand Prix again in 2014 and this when F1 moved to a V6 hybrid engine and I was sitting in Luffield and got to watch an amazing battle between Vettel and Alonso. 2015 and it was the first time I got to see my friends from the BPRL which is the online racing league I got to race in.And I loved meeting up with them and it was the first year Vettel was driving for Ferrari and he finished p3 when I meet up with my friends we walked around the track and it was nice.
2016 I wasn't planning to attend the Grand Prix due only getting out of Hosptial a few weeks ago but my parents paid half of the ticket as a birthday present and it was lovely getting to see my friends again and again we walked the-the side of the track and it was nice I also got to buy my first Ferrari Vettel cap. It was a mixed weather race. 2017 I bought my ticket but I was feeling awful mentally and I didn't want to go but my friends wanted me to come and I was glad I went I hadn't laughed and smiled like I had in a long time I had fun with my friends and after the race, we meet up on the track after the race and it was amazing. I plan to attend the British Grand Prix for all 3 days next season and camp at the track and hope to meet drivers mainly Sebastian Vettel by waiting outside the driver's exit.
