The Paddock Club is the big hospitality suite that sits above the length of the pit building (at most races, anyway), and on the last couple of race weekends I've been invited up there.
The food is stunning. This weekend I had some delicious veal. Bernie often takes his lunch up here. Most of the guests are corporate - the team sponsors will entertain clients here, and all the drivers will make an appearance over the weekend to do a Q&A.
Tickets are over 2,000 euros.
I went up to see Isabelle Kaufmann, who's the charming lady that runs the operation. The place must have had 1,000 people in it, and she strode up to the DJ booth - which was playing chill out music - and asked me if I wanted to change it. I requested Led Zeppelin, so that's what everyone had to put up with.
Guests can have their photo taken and photoshopped next to the driver of their choice. So I went for Lewis:
