Hockenheim was a stunning race to visit, there was way more than just the racing on the go. I spent quite a bit of time looking round the rest of the stuff, looking back on it, there wasn’t masses really but still nice to experience it all. The merchandise like shirts etc. is all VERY expensive, from a top team you are looking at like E50+ for a TShirt and then E75+ or so for a golf shirt, OUCH !! Would have been nice to have something from the race but I’m not quite willing to spend that much.
(a lot of the photos are pretty obvious and don’t need descriptions)

I was initially here waiting for autograph but the queue/crowd hand’t moved in 45min and it was SO hot I gave up on that as doubt they would have got to everyone anyway

Needless to say I need a bit more practice if I ever wanna join a F1 crew as the wheel gun guy ... see the next 2 videos:
Me changing the tyre on a Ferrari F1 car (sorry for the portrait/upright video – I couldn’t control how the person would film it – the preview of this may look sideways but when you play it, it will turn it – tip watch full screen to see it better)
Second Ferrari F1 tyre change (next day, this time in landscape) with a more attractive but slower pit crew
