Will do. Hopefully the weather will be nice this year. Last year the hurricane off the coast of Mexico made for a somewhat cold and miserable experience including cancellation of Saturday qualifying. However, those of us who stuck it out waiting got to go into the pits and talk to the drivers. I got autographs on my ticket from Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.

I will be there. Staying at the W (Hotel lobby after 9 pm is filled with celebs). As previous years Ferrari and Mercedes are in the Four Seasons, Redbull and Williams are in the W.
Got passes to the chairmen's suite this year.
Would like you meet you all in person.
I have been attending the race every year. Last year I got a chance to have a long conversation with Mika.
