01

### Sources and race editions

- Formula 1, the FIA and the local organiser for schedules, results and event arrangements.
- Circuit and authorised ticketing sources for viewing areas and admission conditions.
- Transport operators, public authorities and venues for the services they run.
- Independent sources for additional context, with conflicting information checked against the responsible organisation.

02

### Maps and practical advice

Grandstand outlines and access points may be approximate. We identify older gate maps and avoid treating a nearby entrance as a ticket allocation. Unknown amenities or walking times are not filled with guesses.

Viewing recommendations are editorial judgements about the action and experience on offer. They are not guarantees of a particular seat’s view.

03

### Updates and corrections

We update information when we review new sources or receive a supported correction. A review date applies to the information checked; it does not mean every venue or service has been inspected in person.

Check the current organiser or operator instructions for your booking, departure and admission.

04

### Commercial independence

Paid placements, partnerships and affiliate links should be identified where they appear. Commercial relationships must not be presented as independent recommendations or change factual access information.

05

### AI assistance

AI tools may assist research, drafting and data organisation. Generated text is not evidence: factual claims need supporting sources, and the same editorial and correction standards apply.
