The 1st ever Singtel Singapore Grand Prix

Well well...what an exciting weekend for both F1 enthusiasts and the local Singaporean! The 1st ever night race ever held in Formula 1 turns out to be a success!!! And the number of crashes I predicted was still a bit off the mark!!=P An astonishing finish for Fernando Alonso, coming back from the dead at pole 15 to win the race was by no means a miracle and a huge stroke of luck. Who would have thought that Piquet Jr would had crashed at the straight lane of the floating platform(though i was predicting that would be one of the crash sites earlier=P)...and once the safety car was out...history was changed. And at this year F1 grand prix, there were numerous mistakes by the mechanic teams, no less shocking would be seeing Felipe Massa driving his red ferrari off with the fuel pipe still intact and an unfortunate mechanic flying in the air...woah!...take took precious time off plus a 10 second penalty...he must be wondering which gods he had been offending man...suay to the max. Actually this race could be say as there for his taking by getting pole position in the qualifying rounds as the Marina Bay circuit is definitely one place extremely difficult to find places to overtake, but the surprises that heppened on sunday was definitely the changing point. The Ferraris were totally owned by the track man!...Well it has been no doubt an enjoyable race! And it would be up to Singapore to live up to its high standards that it has set itself in her inaugural Singapore F1 debut.

What I had also noticed was that the commentary were full of praise for our beloved city skyline that seems to blend the lighted tracks to it. Commentators were complimenting us like for the past 3 days and you know what its absolutely alright. Epic shots were like F1 cars driving under Benjamin Sheares bridge with citizen's cars on the way home...cool! Oh and there were scenes of the cars travelling along the padang there and the CBD at the background!!Sweet!!

Watched the race with the bball gang and in a way to celebrate Ben Song 's last 10 days of freedom before he goes into Army=P...haha but apparently only jon tan and me were the more enthu. about the sport with me explaining on most questions fielded by MJ as well. haha...Oh and many thanks for januari for calling me in the middle of dinner to let me hear the sounds of the F1 cars zooming past her at turn 1!!It was deafening sia, but cool to the max..hehe so a big thank u!=)...Oh oh and did I mention that I meant some of the drivers at the paddock area where I was doing my SS on thurs night and fri. wee early morning...haha cool as kimi=P
