F1 Gp of Singapore - Qualification Rounds + Race
Posted in Singapore on October 5th, 2008 by SebastianI finally found some time to upload the pictures of the rest of the F1 GP. I can only say it has been the best race I’ve ever attended.
Saturday, the free trainings were quite promising for Alonso, as he was still the fastest driver in the track. But the qualification rounds were quite full of emotions: Alonso broke during the 2º round, unable to finish a lap.. he was going to start the race in the 15th position, nearly killing all the possibilities for being in the top3 during the race, as Singaporean track has very few overtaking zones… Hamilton had a little stress too, as he passed the 2º qualification round on the 10th position. Even if I was quite sad because of Alonso’’s qualification, I enjoyed the Saturday, as i really like the sound of this amazing cars. We were not able to do the same thing than Friday (going around the circuit and seating nearly where we wanted), as the police control was more important.
Sunday we went to the circuit quite early, in order to visit it a little more, Jukka also wanted to find a Finnish flag (with no luck!).We were finally able to find some cold beer without a 3h queue, so we enjoyed it while looking the Porsche race. Then we managed to see the driver’s parade in the front row (we sneaked in the front and acted as it was our seats lol) but we had to go back to our place for the F1 race… and what race! full of emotions, action, safety car! We really had good seats, as wee were able to see Piquet’s accident in front of us, and the weather was also good (there had been some rain at the beginning of the day). As you all know, Alonso got very lucky, as he did a Pit stop just before the safety car went in after Piquet’s accident. This, combined with his amazing skills made him win the race (in desperation of Jukka, as Kimi was favorite, and crashed 5laps to the end…). After the race, we went to some nightclubs stands inside the race (partied until midnight). In the way, we were able to see some Brazilian girls doing a show (see the pics, they were really.. nice!). Israel and me came back home together, took some pictures inside the circuit, and had some photos with the fireman.
Conclusion of the week end: best experience EVER!
