The Singapore Formula One Grand Prix was an absolutely exciting one. The experience of watching the race up close beat watching it on TV or anywhere else. The onsite mood was fantastic, with real time actions, deafening sounds and unexplainable trills!
It was a drama-filled race yesterday with Ferrari’s Massa started from pole but a disastrous mistake at the pit stop sent our jaws dropping – he drove off with the fuel hose still attached to his car!! Although the crew eventually managed to pull off the hose at the end of the pit lane, all was too late. Adding on to that, he was given a 10 seconds drive through penalty. He only managed to finish 15th in place.
The highlight was Spain’s Fernando Alonso, the two-time world champion, as he won the first race in a year. The Renault driver started from 15th as his car ran into mechanical problems on Sat qualifying session. However, in the mayhem of pit lane dramas, crashes and safety cars, Alonso took the lead at Lap 34, and finished first. Germany’s Nico Rosberg finished second, with championship leader Lewis Hamilton in third…
I certainly had great fun there last night – no, I wasn't in the exclusive (and costly) Paddock or in any other suite, I was only at Connaught Grandstand, but it's a brand new experience which beats seeing the race on TV or hearing it a hundred times from someone! :)
