F1 SIngapore Grand Prix : Race Day



Race Day! This day, we arrived early as i wanted to soak in the atmosphere at Padang, at the Walkabout area. This field is where the post F1 concerts were held and many walkabout ticket holders will be jostling for space to get a glimpse of the cars.


There were many bazaar stalls like this, selling F1 memorabilia and team merchandise. So far, Ferrari seemed to have the most items and judging by what the fans were mostly wearing, i would say that Ferrari is earning a big chunk of the F1 market. I hardly see fans wearing items belonging to other teams, maybe just a handful McLaren caps, and maybe some Renault t-shirts.


I was so happy to spot these antique cars at the Padang area, just before the drivers were due to sit in them for the Drivers' Parade Lap. Look whose car i found! Kimi!!


Boy, isn't this a nice-looking BMW for Robert Kubica?


At 6.30 pm, the Driver's Parade Lap started, and Kimi Raikkonen was the second driver on the parade lap. Many fans rushed to the front to wave at him, as for me, i stood bare-footed on my grandstand seat, waving frantically at him as well.


Nico Rosberg was so cool, hardly waving at all, just striking a pose.


Just before the start of the grand prix, i whipped out this mini Singaporean flag to capture this moment to remember.
