Thats useful to know, thanks for that.
Do you know where it is best to view the cars during the PQ scrutineering?

It's pretty self-evident. However, because of the works, there's no real guarantee that it will in the same place this year! Normally, the whole pit lane is open and you wander up and down. The cars are pushed along the pit lane to the scrutineering section which is next to the pit lane exit. There are barriers all around so you can just lean up against those and watch the cars as they move from one section to the other.
Then the cars are pushed out of the scrutineering bay, out of the pit exit, and are pushed up the circuit to the far end of the pit lane, then back to their pit boxes, so you can also lean against the concrete wall and watch that bit. It is all very relaxed and viewing easy - although the more popular cars attract bigger hordes so it's worth while getting an early pitch along the barriers before, say the Pugs and the Pescarolos turn up.
