As of yesterday, 27 September 2008, I'm a converted fan of F1. Thanks to Sis, Hubby and I attended our very first F1 race, what's even better (besides the free tix) is that it's the world's first night race held right here in our homeland. Before, I used to think it's boring and meaningless watching the race, but not anymore. On the contrary it's quite an experience - the noise of the engine though deafening brings the thrill to another notch and as the drivers were racing for the finishing line it was adrenaline pumping moments for the spectators, or fans per se. And I'm now officially one of them. In spite of the blazing sun and in between breaks we had an enjoyable time watching the race.
The Singapore Grand Prix ended a while ago and I'm a tad disappointed Lewis Hamilton of McLaren didn't win the Singapore race. However, he is way ahead in the championship lead and looks set to win for this season - touchwood - if all goes smoothly at the remaining 4 races this year. This being his 2nd F1 race, Hamilton is already making news. You go man!
Some photos to share...

Some other races were held in the day. This was taken before the Porsche race.
The grand stand was filling up just before the qualifying race.

i'm a converted F1 fan too!! but i was converted watching it on telly. i personally prefer massa.. find hamilton a tad too arrogant.
he is arrogant but i admire him for his guts and he sure is one hell of a racer. between the 2 ferrari drivers, i somehow prefer raikkenon... unfortunately, this is not their race. better luck at the japan race maybe.
