F1 in Singapore

After waiting so long, F1 has finally arrived in Singapore.

This year, it is very special as not only this is the FIRST time Singapore is holding the F1, it is the FIRST time in F1 history that a race is held at night.

Cool.

Wow.

Really, i am starting to regret that i didn't get any tickets for the event. I mean, really, you HAVE to be there, at the place itself to experience the atmosphere. Even if you can't see the cars zoom by, just hearing the roar of the engine is something exciting. Can you imagine what you are hearing is produced by the fastest cars in the world racing right at your doorstep? Wow. Only guys will understand the "high" feeling of seeing a F1 car zooming pass your eyes and the accompanying roar of the engine. Shiok sia.

I am so going to get a ticket next year. Ya.

On a side note, There is a saying that in soccer, anything is possible because the ball is round. Similarly, to me, my saying is that in F1, anything is possible too because the wheels are round and F1 Singapore proved my words.

F1 Singapore proved to be damn exciting, throwing up lots of surprise and lots of drama. In fact, drama is everywhere, from the pit stop to the track. Fernando Alonso must be in tears on both Sat and Sun night, tears of sadness on one, tears of joy on the other after winning the race he felt impossible to win, especially when he is starting at the 15th position. Massa, who got the pole position, finished second from last and for the first time, Ferrari get ZERO points from a race which also saw 6 drivers failing to complete due to car error or accident.

What a disaster night for Ferrari, especially Massa. The Ferrari team will want to forget this night as soon as possible and i am damn sure they hate Singapore now.
