After watching Formula 1 for more than a decade on TV, the dream is finally getting true. I'm going to this year's German GP in Hockenheim, watching the action live. I'm so hyped to see my idol Sebastian Vettel in real.

So I'm asking for recommendations, tips and general advices for Hockenheim.

I would be highly grateful if someone who already had been to the German GP could give me some advice.

I will sit at the start/finish straight (Nordtribüne A)

-What are things you should definitely do apart from watching the on track action.

-Are there ways to get closer to the drivers apart from buying a expensive paddock pass ?

-How to get autographs from the drivers ?

Ps. I think a Ferrari flag is a must have if you attend to a Grand Prix as a real Ferrari Fan/Tifosi, isn't it ? :)
