f1 comes to town! was fortunate enough to get invited by my friend to catch the qualifying race. it was an awesome day. was really hot (should've brought a towel, i just kept perspiring) but you don't really complain much about the heat coz of the atmosphere
...difficult and most challenging track, intense heat, bumpy, supersoft tires, vroooooom!, turns 1, 7, 23, 290km/h, lighter, faster, quicker....
as the races go on, you hear about how the mechanics, engineers do their best to make the cars as light as possible, as fast as possible, etc. these beautifully crafted machines are perfect examples of science at it's finest. each car looking almost exactly the same, yet each car performs so differently to one another, thanks to the talents of the young drivers. their abilities to make split-second decisions to start turning earlier, to push their cars to go as fast as it possibly can, makes the races soo thrilling to watch. i'm in awe when i hear of a driver being able to shave of 1/100 of a second when he completes a lap...it's simply breath-taking.
i definitely want to go again next year, i'm so hooked. *go hamilton go!
