23Sep12 is the most exciting day for all Singapore F1 fans.. SINGAPORE CONFIRMED HOSTING F1 GRAND PRIX FOR ANOTHER 5 MORE YEARS !!! Its a celebration today!!!

There is no room for the slightest mistake on this enclosed Marina Bay street night circuit... This year race is very exciting.. the best out of the 5 years, so far.. Hamilton's Mclaren slow to a halt half way thru the race due to gear problem, Schumacher slam his Mercedes onto a Toro Rosso because of faulty breaks.. Then Senna and Messa had a heart stopping moment during a overtaking maneuver.. While Messa is overtaking Senna, Senna pushes Messa close to the wall.. Then there are plenty of overtaking from Mark Webber..

After the checkered flag, Katy Perry ignited the Padang with her "Hot & Cold" "Firework" concert.. Its awesome..!!

Singapore F1 Grand Prix Day 1 - 21Sep12 (Fri)

This is the 5th Singapore SingTel F1 Grand Prix... Time pass.. I still remember all the hypes and excitements in 2008 when Singapore stage the first F1 Grand Prix...

This year supporting races includes GP2, Porsche Carrera Asia Cup & Ferrari Challenge.. When i arrived at  gate 3, the queue was so long.. so i walk over to gate 4, shorter queue and faster. Half way through the Ferrari practice session it started to rain.. luckily i mange to take break in the Esplanade.. The rain manage to stop before the F1 practice session..
In the evening, Jay Chou stage a fantastic concert at the Padang Stage.. The whole circuit has been converted into a concert.. :) 

Here are some of the pics..

 The long queue at Gate 3.

 Shorter queue at Gate 4, gate 4 will be closed at 9.30pm..

 Jay Chou's Fans queuing up for their fan pass.. Fans pass allows the fans to be nearer to the stage.. I wonder these fan are her for F1 or Jay Chou.. 2-in-1 mah? What a great deal...!!

 Some of the F1 Teams Official Merchandise on sale.. See an Australian F1 fan, supporting Mark Webber is suppose..

Team Mercedes Merchandise Stall.. See Michael Schumacher is here too..

 Porsche Carrera Asia Cup Practice Session.. retrun for the 5th time, featuring the new Porsche 911.. I love the sound of the Porsche 911, the true German engineering.

 Here comes the prancing horses.. The aggressive roar from the Ferrari 458 racecars, 4.5 litre V8 engine, creating a 570 horsepower.

GH MUMM the Official F1 Chanpagne... This is what i will be wearing the next three days.. Thank to my friend Edwin for the great F1 souvenir... The program list cum circuit map in pocket size..

 That me in the GH MUMM cap.. This is Turn 11 walk-about viewing area.. This year they shift the platform  more to the left.. so hardly able to see Turn 10's Singapore Sling (Accident Prone Area)

 The classic Mercedes SL..

 At the Esplande Bridge.. The crowd starts pouring in..

 Red Bull in action during the practice session.

 Another Red Bull..

 Hey! that is Michael Schumacher practicing his round.. Go Schumi...!!!

 Schumacher going into Turn 14..

 Marussia F1 Team in action..

GP2 Cars in action.. during practice session..

Looking forward to Singapore F1 Grand Prix 2012

Another 3 more days to the 5th Singapore F1 Grand Prix by the Marina Bay. Singapore F1 is the World's first and only Night Race on a Street Circuit... "Uniquely Singapore mah."..

Take about unique, most of the cars this year will look very funny.. with the Platypus looking nose. I still remember in 2008, F1 cars are fitted with many small weird (Aquaman's inspired) winglets...

 Official wallpaper for Singapore F1 2012

 Look at the funny looking flat nose on Rosberg's car.. But who cares, look is no longer important now, performance does matters.

The all German, Team Mercedes, i will be there to give you the moral support.. Go Shumi go!!.. show all the younger drivers out there what you have got.. You are still the greatest..

Night view of the Marina Bay Street Circuit.. An awesome view..

Well Singapore F1 Grand Prix is not only all about racing.. Its a huge concert and party out there.. This year Maroon5, Katy Perry, Jay Chou, Bananarama, Noel Gallagher are some of the Big International Names performing during the 3 days Singapore F1 Grand Prix...

Singapore F1 Tickets

Yeah, i finally got my Singapore F1 Tickets...  This year the pack is no frills and only one colour for all three days. White, grey and light green... hmm looks like Team Mercedes's official team colour hor (do you agree).. Anyway its a once a year event that i look forward to, especially i missing out last year race, but luckily enough my friend offer me the Stamford grandstand for Friday practice, that comfort me a bit in 2011.. 

Singapore F1 Grand Prix is the World's first and only Night Street Circuit since 2008...and Bernie Ecclestone heralded the Singapore Grand Prix as the "New Jewel in the Formula One Sports Crown"

 I have been watching F1 since my secondary sch days and my favorite driver then is Alain Prost -  4 Times World Champion... Yah yah yah, another favorite of mine in the nineties is Michael Schumacher (Won Seven World Championships). I still get to cheer for him in Singapore GP after he return from retirement.. I still believe that he can do wonders on the track, give him a reliable and fast car, then you see what he can do... Got some rumors that Team Mercedes might be pulling out next year and concentrate on just supplying their engines to F1 teams, like Mclaren... etc

 This year will be an exciting one for me as Maroon5 will be performing after the qualifying day (Sat)...!!! Yeah yeah i know Katy Perry will be performing too, after the race day (Sun)...

 Look at the no frill packaging..

 I like the Lanyard.. but does the colour does not goes well with the pass.
