Anyway, yesterday's F1 Grand Prix was exciting indeed.
1st of all, the lightings on the circuit was superb~ When Channel 5 showed the view of the Marina Bay streets, ECP was totally faint as compared to the glowing bright tracks of the circuit. So if you take a plane above Singapore, you'll probably only see the circuit in the whole city. Cool..
The world's first night race~~
Then next the drivers... I was hoping Felipe Massa would win, since i don't really like Lewis Hamilton (cos he actually missed our President's lunch! What arrogance!). Massa was leading Hamilton steadily for the first 15 laps, until his first pit stop. I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the fuel pipe broke, and the Ferrari dragging the broken pipe behind, almost dragging the mechanic guy along. Omg... Then he drove quite a distance, and the pipe did not break off, forcing him to stop and lose the precious half min. In addtion, he was also awarded a drive through penalty for this blunder. Man... That cost him not only the race, but the world championship as well!!!!!! All just because he was given the green light too early~!! My heart totally went out to him. Sighs... Seems like Hamilton will still take the championship home after all.
But then Fernando Alonso was really great, he truly deserved to win. He had started from 15th position (due to his engine break down in the qualifying round), and made his way all up to 1st! Truly incredible... Maybe it's what you call an equilibrium of luck here. Though he clocked the fastest lap times in both practice rounds, he actually got 15th in the qualifying round...yes, due to his faulty engine. Of all times! it's only during the sat's QR2, the critical round that determines his position in GP, that his engine broke. He was totally down in luck, everyone predicted it'll take a miracle to win the race. And what do you know, by a 180 degrees turn of luck, miracle did arrive. First his team mate crashed, closing the gap between him and the leading Massa, then Massa's pit stop disaster, followed by Hamilton's delay at the pit stop and later, Rosberg's 10-sec penalty. All paving the way for him to the first trophy. But of course besides luck, you need skill as well... Even though all these give him a 23-sec lead over Rosberg, it was all brought to nought when Force India crashed at lap 53, bringing out the safety car again. It's definitely thanks to his experience and driving skills that he maintained the lead and won Rosberg by 3 secs~
So you see, when you think things couldn't have gotten any worse, don't give up, cos who knows? Good luck may be just behind~ :)
Hope that applies to Massa and his Ferrari team too, in the remaining 3 races~ Ha...
What an exciting race... It has definitely gained my attention towards f1 races from now on.
Yup, so that's the end of my first experience watching an F1 race and i shall end here with Alonso's trademark action right after his win.
tata~
*finger waves*
I still think Ferrari is quite cool~ Ha..
