F1 Grand Prix : 1st Night Race (pt 2)

I watched the race qualification sessions just now and surprisingly there were many upsets.

some drivers crashed, some were still confused, like how Felippe Massa took a wrong turn in one of the turns in the circuit. and some, due to mechanical failures. it was sad that Fernando Alonso had to be disqualified because his 'car' has some mechanical failure. F. Alonso is a great driver besides the all time great, Michael Schumacher. the race would be less exciting for me.

Lewis Hamilton, the fave for most in this race. performed poorly, in my opinion, during the qualification races. luckily he pulled through to a position in the top ten.

Drivers like Mark Webber and David Coulthard were not in the top ten. i don't know if they can still race tomorrow night or only the top ten are able to race. like i said i'm still a bit clueless about the workings of the F1 Grand Prix. it would be a waste if they aren't able to compete.

besides the drivers, did you notice how the street circuit is 'wrapped' around S'pore's modern and historical monuments. it shows the conscious effort that the government or whoever it was that set up the race track to sort of advertise Singapore.

seeing that F1 has it's inaugural night race here in Singapore, would the government bring in the Moto Gp next? I wish they would. it will surely bring in the tourists.

Singapore Grand Prix. Singapore Moto GP. sounds nice right? hehe
