It's also very likely a massive contributing factor to why the suspension broke over the bumps. I think the bumps + lower downforce exacerbated the problems with the bumps for the Ferrari's. The team specifically told Charles to avoid 2 sections of the track over the radio where other teams were not as concerned about hitting the Apex in 9.
As far as parking, I had a friend in the cash lot across Elroy Road who got out in about 45 minutes. Just had a 20 minute walk and then 25 minutes stuck in traffic because they walked past the real traffic jam. So lesson learned - don't buy the really expensive Lot F parking, just park a 20 minute walk away and walk past the jam up to the exit of the venue.

Yeah there are several good parking options offered by locals out there. Just be careful walking. An F1 fan was struck and killed walking back to his car after the GP. I'd always rather walk 15 minutes back to my car than sit the same 15 minutes or much more in traffic. At DKR I always see all the people stuck in traffic close-in after. When I get to my car, I'm outta there.
