Singapore is called the "crown jewel" in the Formula One race. As a Singaporean, I couldn't agree more.
Singapore is so spectacular and amazing at night! The skyline is really beautiful, now that Marina Bay Sands stands proudly against the night sky. While it is not exactly dazzling, Singapore can be on par with other countries'.This is the 3rd race in Singapore and it still is getting rave reviews from foreign viewers. Yesterday's race was indeed a good one, with crashes and fires and situations that makes your heart thump. Such is the case of Hamilton and Webber incident. I'm so glad that Mark Webber came out unharmed and finished in a podium finish.Fernando Alonso won, fair and square this time. He maneuvered with style and was leading from start to finish.This year, since my original favourite was not inside, I decided to support Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button. There are two who are in Red Bull and Jenson Button in McLaren.
Singapore is still the only country with a night race and it certainly up the standards. With the street circuit aglow with megawatt lights, it seems like the sun shines on the particular route.The night race attracts people because it is something new and with the backdrop being picture-perfect, who could ask for more?
Lovely, lovely race yesterday night! Really enjoyed it!
Last night F1 race marks the 2nd year where F1 Grand Prix was held in Singapore.
Singapore has such a beautiful skyline, wow! I wish I can cut some pictures out from the live show on TV. I'm looking for nice photos online but can't manage to find the distinctive ones that are taken this year. Perhaps it's too early for the photographers to put up the pictures...
A summary of the race last night. Lewis Hamilton from McLaren was in pole position and finished first, with Timo Glock from Toyota in second place and Fernando Alonso from Renault in third. A good start for Alonso I supposed, given the fiasco by Renault recently.
Kimi Raikkonen from Ferrari, my favourite, was in eleventh place. Quite disappointing actually. Felipe Massa is out of the season since he was injured with Giancarlo Fisichella taking over. Ferrari does not do quite well this season it seems.
In constructor standings, Brawn-Mercedes is currently in first position and Ferrari is third. However, more than 80 points stands between them.
Mark Webber was out of the race, again, like last year. And a few others from various teams were also out for various reasons. The safety car was only on track once.
What’s there not to like about F1? Fast cars, the thrill, the drivers...
and the magnificent backdrop of Singapore make me feel exceptionally pleased and patriotic. With worldwide spectators watching the race live and on TV, Singapore has once again makes its mark.
Did I mention how I love people from overseas making positive comments about Singapore? It just makes me proud to be a Singaporean.
Looking forward to next year’s Grand Prix! This time, I hope to be able to hear the sounds live.
