F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2010!

All thanks to Class 95 for the F1 weekend!
We felt like we went for a short trip. :)

Compared to the 1st year in 2008's, the Circuit Park is much more interesting.
It might be the Padang section is more expensive compared to Marina Bay's (which we were at in 2008) hence the fancifulness.
Unlike in 2008, we did not reach as early as 3pm for Saturday & Sunday as we needed some rest.
Hence, before and in between the practices, we were rushing around taking pictures & visiting the merchandise stalls.
Took with lots of mascots!
And, not forgetting the beautiful sceneries of our small country.
I really love the backdrop of the brightly lighted Esplanade Bridge running below MBS & also City Hall against the track.
As for merchandises, he wanted the Ferrari cup but was sold out.
I was thinking of Red Bull's #6 (Webber) Tee or Cap.
But I gave up as they cost $60 each and I know I won't really use them.
Kinda regret now!
If I ever go to other GPs, I will make sure I get something unless its over a hundred.
As for the entertainments, we watched performances of Daughtry, Missy Elliot, Adam Lambert & Mariah Carey!
I think we enjoyed Daughtry's & MC's quite alot, esp the latter who is his favourite.
A pity we were too far to take clear pictures but I've got lots of videos! :)

Back to the main event.
We were a little bored as we got into P3.
But we spent lots of time during the 3 practices to take photos and videos so that we can concentrate on the Raceday.
He has quite a few clear pictures.
Excitement started to kick in during the Qualifying as the fastest lap was clocked by a few different drivers during the practices.
Alonso got pole.
I was so looking forward to the Drivers Parade.
And, I think I was busy cheering and ended up I couldn't see Webber clearly! :(
But I caught quite a good glimpse of Vettel, Alonso & Schummy. :)
When the race starts, oh man, my heart beat like how it did 2 yrs ago!
I remember the feeling and it feels good I must say.
Schummy's & the other duno-wat -ugly car slowed down infront of us due to some faults.
Kubica overtook other cars twice infront of us.
And, when we see some other drivers getting real close to those we support, we really got very nervous.
When Ham got knocked out, we cheered real loud with other anti-ham audiences. :p
And, luckily nothing serious from the fire on Kovalainen's car.
Finally, when Alonso won (means Ferrari won), we cheered even louder! :)
I was very happy cos Webber moved up from 5th to 3rd to get up to the Podium!
Its a Alonso, Vettel and Webber podium.
NICE!

Oh ya we rushed to Stereolab's official launch - The Black Party - on Saturday after the Qualifying.
Its complimentary also cos he applied the tickets using his DBS Black card.
Anyway, either we left too early or the advertisement was too exaggerating - we did not see a single driver there.
But, we get to enjoy free champagne & take a look at the new night spot.
Just when I was real disappointed, we saw some Petronas crew members at Pan Pac and so I told him I suppose Schummy is staying here.
After that we saw Nico Rosberg almost immediately!
He is very handsome but short.
Wanted to go over to take a picture but it didn't seem nice to interrupt him and his friends/family.

Im now really looking forward to go to other F1 GPs.
Especially KL & Australia, I don't know why.
Haha.
KL maybe cos is the most probable given its location and cost.
Australia maybe cos of Webber?
HAHA! :p
Thought of doing that in Japan, but I think its not very worth it.
Let's see where and when we will go next. :)

F1 Rocks!!!!!!!!!!
