The only downside is you end up behind anyone who had access to the garages. It worked out fairly well except for the folks who must wave gigantic flags which blocked my view of the podium.

We used to do that (when I first went from 2005), and then they stopped access. We don't bother now, and instead have another bottle of Champers in the ACO! 2005 we were drenched in champagne as they didn't put the winning car under the podium. We were stood with Henri Pescarolo, who literally had to be dragged up on to the podium with his drivers; he seemed to want to stay with the engineers.
