RULES FOR VISITORS

As with other F1 events, such as the Japanese Grand Prix, visitors must abide by the rules set by the organisers. Below you will find a basic overview of them.

WHAT CAN'T YOU TAKE WITH YOU?

Items that can be used to damage or deface property - or any part of the circuit and its surroundings - as well as obstructions, hindrances or interruptions to the race, affecting public safety, as well as any merchandise or tickets for commercial distribution and any dangerous items, are prohibited by law.

Anyone entering the entertainment area will be subject to a check/search.

Refusal may result in not being admitted without a refund. Please note that certain items are not allowed to be brought into the entertainment area.

The list of prohibited items includes, but is not limited to:

• Bicycles, roller skates, roller blades, etc.
• Cameras with a length exceeding 26 cm
• Devices that emit intense light, such as laser pointers
• Drugs, noxious substances, flammable substances or poisons (including perfumes, and varnishes)
• Fireworks, smoke bombs
• Generators, compressors, fuel, etc.
• Klaxons, drums and other devices that make loud noises
• Pets (except specially trained dogs such as guide dogs, hearing impaired dogs, etc.)
• Sharp or dangerous objects (e.g. knives, explosives and guns)
• Tents
• Food or Drink

WHAT CAN YOU TAKE WITH YOU?

We generally recommend that F1 visitors pack light and bring only the essentials—money, a phone, and a power bank. Please note that bringing your own food and drinks into the circuit is generally prohibited. However, you can bring an empty reusable water bottle, which can be refilled at water stations throughout the venue. A wide range of refreshments is available for purchase directly on-site. Of course, do not forget your ticket for each specific day and a valid ID for yourself and your children.

Tips for Fans:

• Tickets: If you have them on your phone, it’s a good idea to take a screenshot in case of a poor signal or network outage.
• Hearing Protection: While F1 cars aren't as "ear-splitting" as they used to be, earplugs are still very useful for the support races (F2, F3).
• Comfort: Don’t forget sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes—you’ll end up walking much more than you might expect!
• Power Bank: Constant photo-taking and checking live timing can drain your battery quickly; a portable charger is a lifesaver.
