singapore gp 2009

Last night I was pretty much glued to the TV screen for the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

I must say I'm not a diehard F1 fan. You can argue that watching 20 cars going round 60 laps is like watching 22 men chasing after a ball. The engine roar was like lullaby to me cos I went straight to bed after seeing Hamilton and friends wasted the Moet. I think the street lights tired the eyes out.

What I like to see is the action at the pitstop (team work at its best!) and sadistically, incidents. Toro Rosso almost did the hose thingie Ferrari did last year, Force India's nose got a punch, and did someone's mirror drop off?

I have this weird habit, if I like the sponsors, I like the team. Red Bull, Canon, Tata, 7-Eleven. Panasonic is a big no-no. Philips, well.. I had to go to their service centre a few times. And it's interesting how fast Renault took out the ING ad after they terminated the partnership. If you want to go technical, the technical page at the official F1 website tells you what specific modification each team make for the circuit.

Ok, back to normal life. No more speeding.
