An overdue post indeed. It was 2 weeks before finals and yet, we decided join the craze and went for the grand prix. So it's a strikethrough on the wishlist as I have longed to go for ages.
We went for the qualifying and also the race day. 100 bucks ticket not wasted at all.

The enthusiastic bunch finally reached the Sepang International Circuit after an hour drive. We could hear the engines all revved up even before we reached and obviously that made us all hyped up!!
Not much happening on Saturday though. However, we managed to explore the place and got our earplugs. Earplugs are essential. It didn't occur to me that they were necessary before that. Not until you get all those PAINFUL goosebumps all over.
Gate 5 which the our gate, as in the gate we all entered for student priced tickets.
And this was what we saw right after. The Ferrari Flags. Which actually costs more than 300 bucks. I would loved to own one myself.
I swear the sky was definitely more beautiful in Sepang.
After the qualifying session, we went to get a glimpse of the pit lanes. Ferrari's pits.
The crowd during the race day. Most of them were foreigners. Not forgetting many HOT foreigners there were.
The drivers first hand!! Kimi was looking down to my disappointment. They were doing a pre-race drivers parade. We can Jenson Button clearly though.
Husband and wife supporting Ferrari and Mclaren variously. Look how rivalry can be put aside for love. Awww.
The sleek Ferrari of Felippe Massa!!!
And Brawn. Striking colour of white with shades of green.
The group. Melvin, Siao Wei, Jessie and ME.
Nearly half way through the race, the sky suddenly turned black. It was always likely to rain in Malaysia during the grand prix, but what followed was totally unexpected. The race was red flagged after 32 laps. Something which I've never observed from my experience as a Formula One fan. Jenson Button who was leading at the moment was crowned the winner. However, he only received half of the full points as they did not complete the race.
We rushed to the grand stand to watch the trophy giving and champagene ceromony on the podium.
This was the best I got. It was CROWDED and I was behind a pole.
After everything was over, many weren't satisfy as the race halted half way. Many rushed into the pit lanes and we just followed the pack. And it was totally worth it. We got good close up of the garage and all.
Basically, the whole experience was overwhelming for me. There were advices from friends saying we couldn't really see much of the race but I guess it really depends on where you are sitting. We were sitting in front of the screen so it was like watching at home and our sits had 50% of the track's view. The bonus was we managed to experience the live conditions- the thrills, the disappointment and of course the rain, the crowd and EVERYTHING. I would definitely recommend all fans to try it out. Again next year? I might you know.
A VERY PLEASED ME
