F1 Viewing Party

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

 

I’ve been looking for a driver who’s qualified
So if you think that you’re the one
Step into my ride
I’m a fine-tuned supersonic
Speed machine
With a sunroof top and a gangster lean

Around 10pm on Sunday, Formula 1 capped its first ever night race in Singapore.  Renault’s Fernando Alonso marked his 20th career victory and first since 2007’s Italian Grand Prix with McLaren.  He won after starting 15th on the grid.  Second placer Nico Rosberg scored his best Grand Prix finish, giving Williams its best result since the 2005 season. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton of McLaren was third.


So if you feel me let me know
Know, know
Come on now what you waiting for
For, for
My engine’s ready to explode
Explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go
Go, go, go

 

  

50,000 tourists attended the first night race by F1.  Part of the historical night race was my friend and officemate, Karen Zabaljauregui, Jan Dela Merced with friends. 

 

  

 

Back in Manila, people who didn’t have an airline ticket to Singapore last weekend had an alternative as Alchemy, alongside Sky Cable, opened its door to an F1 Viewing Party.  Pia Boren hosted the event and gave F1 goodies for contest winners.

There were 3 track crashes that evening, Piquet, Fiscichella, Barichello –yea, I can’t pronounce those names too.  Massa had a pitstop disaster.


Got you where you wanna go
If you know what I mean
Got a ride that’s smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves?
Can you run all the lights?
If you can baby boy
Then we can go all night

Alonso did a round of cycling at 3am before the race day to probably get a feel of the track.  That photo is glaring brightly as Karen’s desktop wallpaper. 


Cause I’m 0 to 60 in three point five
Baby you got the keys
Now shut up and drive
(Drive, drive, drive)
Shut up and drive
(Drive, drive, drive)

 

Thanks Chai for attending the event with me!
