Formula One – Malaysia’s 11th Grand Prix @ Sepang

Sunday, 4th April 2009

Thanks to Seng & Unker Jin for the tickets! We get to enjoy the Formula One event in our home circuit at Sepang. Mike picked us up around 2ish and Guess What?!?!?! It took us about 2 hours to get there! My Gawd… Traffic officers were unable to control the traffic!! It’s Madness. Really!! Insane..

I love the BMW X6!!! It’s simply irrisistable!! okay.. back to..

Thank god Mike & Michelle went on Saturday for the qualifying race and they bought the RM100 parking sticker, which is located very near to the entrance. If not *shake head* God knows how far we have to park and how long it’ll take us to walk to the circuit. *Phew*

Our seats were located at the citrine area (Topaz), Second Tier Grandstand. Mike & Michelle went in first… Mandy & I had to wait for Seng and while waiting we took a few pictures.

It’s Getting Gloomy =(

We managed to make it just in time before the race starts. I felt Goosebumps whilst listening to the F1 engine revving! I was so excited to wait for that ‘moment of silence’ where everyone stop talking, stop messaging, stop taking pictures…STOP! The moment of silence just before the light turns Green. *woah* that feeling, it send shivers to my spine. I can honestly tell you that, it was AWESOME!! hehee… I am not a F1 fan and yet I could feel so much. It’s definitely a good experience!

The excitement strikes in when it started raining, we were hyped up hoping that it’ll be an exciting race. But… because it was raining heavily, the F1 committee stop the race temporary until the rain subsided.

The bad weather hampered the race. Argh!! The F1 committee decided to stop the race due to heavy rain and poor visibility. Therefore, the race ended 31 laps. Here are the final results:

1st: Jenson Button – Brawn GP (2nd Consecutive
2nd: Nick Heidfeld - BMW Sauber (Team Petronas!)
3rd: Timo Glock - Toyota
4th: Jarno Trulli - Toyota
5th: Rubens Barrichello – Brawn GP
6th: Mark Webber - Red Bull
7th: Lewis Hamilton – Good comeback but i still don’t like Lewis!

I believe that Brawn GP could have had a 2nd consecutive double-podium finish IF the race had gone on!
