Going to F1 GP race abroad

Hi all,
has anyone been to an F1 race that can help me out with the planning? My dh wants to take eldest dd (15) to an F1 race next year.
Looking at Spain, Belgium or Hungary but I’m so confused about it all.
If you’ve been, how do you go about booking it all????
Do you go with a package or do you arrange everything separately?
Driving directly isn’t an option so they would be flying but hiring a car once there isn’t a problem.
Is it best to stay onsite if possible or stay in nearby towns & get shuttles? Any recommendations?
Where is best place to view the race on the track for getting tickets?
I’m genuinely overwhelmed by it & I want it to be as seamless & as enjoyable as possible for them ☺️
thank you in advance for all your help!

Dd went to the Dutch Grand Prix last year. She booked it all independently via the official website. She did book the on site camping. She booked her flight through Easyjet then got the train to Zaandvoort. She liked staying on site, there were loads of things in the fan village, she got to see the evening enterntainment and missed the melee to get in and out each day. Hiring a car wasn't an option at Zaandvoort as motor vehicles were banned in the area during the race weekend.

She is thinking about going to Belgium at some point in the future (she can't afford it next year) & I assume she will make similar arrangements. If you go for a local hotel/air B&B you need to book early.

I’ve been to Monza. That was easy; flight to Milan and then a train. Race tickets booked via official site. No need to hire cars.

Monte Carlo similarly easy. Stayed in Nice and got the train in on race day.

I've been to Spain (Barcelona), Hungary and Belgium within Europe and am doing Madrid next year, all booked separately rather than packages. Belgium would be the trickiest from a logistics point of view as the others are close to (or in Madrid's case in) the city, meaning you don't need to worry about a car. Happy to help with any specific questions about any of those places.
