Singapore F1 GP

wow! what a feast of sight and sound!

The beauty of the machines ... the roar of the engines ... the smell of burning rubber ... it triggers a sense of awe for these beasts that can hit up to 300kmh!

I was there on Sat with my son :-D

It was just before 7pm that we found our seats at turn 1 ... watching the cars come out of the pit and then when they come around again less than 2 minutes later to hear them scream past turn 1,2 & 3. Funny tho' the excitement was not as exhilirating as I thought it would be. It was really loud ... that after a few minutes ... I said to my son, "We'll need the F1 survival kit!" ... got them for $2 and was back at the seats a few minutes later.

We watched as the cars came back again and again negotiating the turns.

However, when the real action began at 10pm - Qualification .. the drivers were a totally different person! I cud just feel the energy and electricity in the air! The drivers were pushing the vehicle harder and negotiating the turns faster.


Here's a shot of Massa leaving the pit ..

And when Massa pipped Hamilton for the pole ... the crowd roared!

What a night. :)
