Welcome and howdy, USAJohn1!
The Hospitality tents are very inhospitable if you ask me, and you'l end up getting stitched like a kipper in Grannies cardigan. Last year, one was modelled on the Houses of Parliament, called the English Pubbe, and ran out of beer 10 minutes after the race started. My local MP was caught in the bushes behind the whole shebang with his todger out! The food will have been sweating in a Tupperware box for about a week, and the barman will look as if he's been doing the same in a wheeliebin parked next to a roaring fire. The beer, if there's any left, will be warm, a brand unheard of, and overpriced; and can anyone tell me the point of sitting in a tent watching the action on a piddling little screen, when the real thing is just outside.
There are plenty of bars around the track, in fact you'll be tripping over them, and the beer will be cold and fresh. If you can still see, and stand, after satisfying yourself as to the freshness and cooling qualities of the French lager, then you can see the action on the giant screens that are on the pits straightaway.
Hope this helps, enjoy the race!
