Reading various blogs and forums, there seems to be a lot of frustration amongst Hamilton and F1 fans about the reason why Lewis Hamilton was excluded from the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying. Let's try and make some logical sense of the Stewards' decision
Why go?
It is one of the best grands prix to get in touch with your favourite driver or team personnel. The Chinese round is well known by journalists for its red tape nightmare. Access to Facebook and Twitter is difficult too. As a result, a lot of the media doesn't even bother turning up to Shanghai for the F1, giving the main actors of the show some reprieve, and the resourceful fan a chance of meeting some of the drivers.
It is however one of the best value for the money grands prix on the calendar, when you consider how much of the track you can see from most seats. The Shanghai International Circuit not only has outstanding facilities but it even has a grandstand from which you can almost see the whole circuit.
You can also take better than average pictures from the grandstands. Most of them slightly elevated, giving view over the safety fence.
