Formula 1 Weekend

.030409 – 050409. Formula 1 @ Sepang International Circuit

I seriously can’t recall what I’m supposed to update already as I had quite a busy weekend and these 2 days was a little crazy too! Anyway, thanks for the wishes and concerns, I’ve recovered from my illness already =D Am feeling alot better but with the ‘dateline’ coming up and works I was a little exhausted for the past 1 week I would say.

*it’s not over yet!! haha =D spectator looking anxiously at the race*

Last week was the 2nd stop for 2009 season of Formula 1 after Button had won the first,  Australian GP at Melbourne a week ago with Brawn team. This year’s Malaysian GP was a little more “interesting” though. To start things off, the organisers scheduled a Jamiroquoi’s concert straight after the race and as I have mentioned before, ticket holders stand a chance to win home a brand new Mazda RX-8. Apparently, on the race day itself, things didn’t seem to go well, with only 1 factor to be considered. The weather.

It was a rather gloomy afternoon on a Sunday afternoon and it rained eventually at about 1.30pm. When the rained stopped about 45minutes later, I thought it was a good sign that at least, the race would have been smoother without any rain in the evening. However, I was wrong. The race was flagged to start at 5.00pm and just about 24 more laps to go the safety car was deployed and eventually the race was called off and with that, Button of Brawn team won the Malaysian GP for the 2nd successive week. I’m not sure if most people would be disappointed by the weather but I did. It was sad to say that we didn’t manage to watch real “competition” on the track all the way to the end.

Anyways, here’s some photos that I took last week.
