Singapore F1 Grand Prix - The Race Day

Clip taken on Turn 11...

Well there have been a bit delay before i blog the last day of Singapore Formula 1 Night Race Street Grand Prix. The last 3 days has been very tiring for me.. Sleeping at 2am and got to wake up early for work the next day... Then after work, head for the F1 Grand Prix circuit.. I'm sure those F1 drivers had more rest then me.. But who care.. for the pass three nights i have been enjoying myself very much..

Day 3 this the race day... I meet my friend for dinner before we head to our favourite viewing spot.. Turn 11.. From my pass 2 days i learned that Turn 10 is an accident prone turn.. and Turn 11 could be the over taking corner.. We deploy our self at Turn 11... Hoping to see some action... We reach Turn 11 at 7pm.. and there was already a huge crowd there... The Walk-about Stand was filled with spectator (Guess these people also did their homework too)

While waiting for the race to start at 8pm.. I chat up with an Australian guy, from Melbourne.. He been to Singapore a few time.. and watch many F1 races in Melbourne.. and this is also his 1st night race in Singapore.. He is here to support McLaren.. we chat about previous great drivers of McLaren like Ayton Senna and Alain Prost.. and we also discuss about the types of F1 engine being use.. like the V12 Engine, Turbo Engine, Traction Control.. etc.. And only rich teams could afford better engines... thus FIA change the ruling.. All cars can only use V8 Engines and displacement of 2400 cc.... He told me he will be back for more next year..

The whole atmosphere is awesome during the race day.. can see supporters from different part of the world.. The British supporting Lewis Hamilton in McLaren, Singaporeans, Finnish, Brazilians and Italians cheering for Ferrari drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Messa.. There are also Toyota Supporters and Spanish going for Fernando Alonso of Team ING Renault.... Every supporters are very sporting... sharing the race information within each other.. (We don't get to see hooligans style here)... You can hear the "OOh" when Felipe Messa blunder in the pit stop.. and "Yeah..." when Lewis Hamilton move back to 3rd placing... Kimi Raikkonen smashes his car at turn 10 with only 4 more laps to go.. and the crowd when crazy... I can see Kimi Raikkonen' Ferrari slowly stop in front of us.. Cameras starts clicking... and a disappointed Kimi Raikkonen climb out of his car, walk towards the official car.. everyone claps and cheer for him...

A very disappointing race for Ferrari.. and a triumph for Renualt's Driver and Ex 2 times World Champion Fernando Alonso in his 1st Grand Prix wins of this season... The driver left a good memories for all Singaporeans - Burn tyre marks on the road of Singapore..

I will rate this Singapore Formula 1 Night Street Race a World Class 5 stars rating.. for the awesome experience and presenting Singapore landmarks to the World.. I'll be back for more next year...
