Extremely excited for this event, it will be a sensory overload for me and the drivers, red hot brakes FTW!

First ever street race held in Singapore at night
Is this not some of the best cg you've ever seen, or have I just lived a sheltered life? [media]http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lPegAxc6NPA[/media]
Video was not the best. I'd prefer to get a first person view of the lap not this fly around crap. Plus, as if Vettel can spin and still catch Webber!! (How funny is it that those two drivers are paired against each other for the video anyway!)
This street race is an obvious highlight for the F1 calender and one I have been eagerly awaiting unlike that shockingly bad "street" track for the European GP. (Having said that the highlights video on F1.com is pretty cool)
Flights still available from Adelaide to Singapore before Sunday night, but the F1 tickets are sold out for every possible standing and seating area for all 3 days...
I disagree, he spun and ended up sideways facing the pits right on the race line. If I were him I would have done the same thing. Its the quickest way to get off the track.
Its only "0,000 anyway. I wonder if your allowed to appeal this, depends which car your in I suppose so given its not a McClaren driven by a brit it must be ok. ;)
The point is he drove backwards - he actually drove the opposite way around the track for a tiny distance... simply not on, under any circumstance, or any distance.
If he got hit up the arse by another car, that's one thing. If however he had a head-on-collision with another car, someone was getting decapitated. ;)
He could have put the foot down and swung the car straight around and continued in the correct direction.
I watched this last night, 11:30pm start.. nice channel 10..
Was the best race of the season in my opinion. Good tough racing, a few crashes, entertaining pit stops, some lucky pit strategies too and some not so. A good bumpy circuit and at night in a beautiful city, really lives up to what a street circuit should be. Just had a bit of everything.
Have to admit I am a bit of an Alonso fan so it was nice to see him get up and win a race (seems he's getting some good pace out of that Renault again), bad luck to Masa (but lol at that pitstop, good to hear no serious injuries), but I have to be honest and say id like to see Hamilton win a championship after last year.
