FORMULA ONE -SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX
This series of photos was taken by another guy Jeremy..
He said that's Lewis Hamilton..
I say.. It should be.. Well.. cos i wasnt there.. *sigh*The cars whizzing past when the lights turned green. The BEST part of the race as all the drivers try to wrestle past each other & squeeze into whatever space thats available.
My whole family watched the event.. 2 full hours.. AT HOME la.. what else?
EXCITING!~
I love watching F1 racing since hmmm many years ago? Mediacorp tv used to screen the races many years ago, but stopped. So my bro and i switched to watching malaysia channel, but in recent year(s), there wasnt any to be found screening there too =x
Hoots.. I love the picturesque backdrop, the tricky turns...
BUT not the bumpy roads and plenty of debris on the tracks. Singapore's a garden city.. Yes. but there's just too many dried leaves all over the track and once a race car vroom past, it's like 'wow..' leaves and more leaves flying all around. Just like autumn, but it's less romantic over there.
The winner to the race turned out to be Fernando Alonso!
No one, even he himself thought he had chances on the podium, cos he was starting from 15th position and given the narrow circuit, it was near impossible to overtake so so many cars in his way. Ironically, when his teammate Piquet crashed his car, it became the turning point for this race when the safety car was put in action. That somehow put the 2 Ferraris behind. (1st and 3rd become 16th and 18th lorh.. how sad) But thats where the excitement from F1 comes from. Unpredictable conditions and situations at times^^
The Renault car that Alonso drives.. Oki.. it's just a similar one. It cant possibly be on display when he needs it for the race right? LOL..
Though drivers' faces are hidden underneath helmets and all.. The eye candy factor's present in F1 too! Sorry guys... i arent talking abt grid girls..
I used to think Kimi Raikkonen's super cute (when he first came out at the age of 22.. super talented too! But his McLaren car wasnt that reliable then.. Wasted many of his podium chances) Now he's with Ferrari (yeah more reliable carmaker) but that couldnt help much when he smashed into a wall with only 4 more laps to go. Sigh..
Now, one of the hottest drivers should be Nico Rosberg, i know some girls are going gaga over Lewis Hamilton. Sebastian Vettel's not that bad..
Enough of sidetracking..
I'm certainly looking forward to next year's Grand Prix in Singapore!
Yeps, for those who arent into F1 racing, this is an annual competition, unlike World Cup and Olympics =D
