I remember leaving the site when the race ended, and I think that was the largest crowd I’ve ever been in. It was wall to wall humanity, heading towards the metro. That was one time I was glad to be 6’5” because there was literally someone pressed into me on all sides, shuffling our feet slowly. If you were prone to agoraphobia, stay in your seat for an extra half hour after the race.

I think the Monaco track is the coolest, but heck, I’m unlikely to go there just for F1. If you’ve never been, it is worth the trip. Tickets for just the time trials can be had fairly cheap, and Montreal is just a couple hours away...
