Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix Weekend 2009

My first time experiencing  F1 live in action. Have to say the experience was utterly  fantastic. During the weekend I also managed to see the  Austin Martin cars in qualifying. But I tell you once the F1 cars came out on track the atmosphere totally changed with the sound of the V8 F1 engine was amazingly super loud and you need an ear plug to cover up your ears.

Honestly speaking F1 2009 Singapore was more of a Ferrari festival to me….

F1 action begins…

It’s hard to focus on the F1 cars when taking a shot, first there were so many people trying to get a good shot and they bump into you secondly when you are about to shoot it somebody blocks you. There was once all us photographers were at this good spot (photos taken at the spot below) to take F1 cars at a corner, suddenly all of a sudden 2 official photographers who had access to inner barriers took away our beautiful vantage point. One foreigner got really pissed and threw a cup at them (Look below for pics). Thank God no there were no fights between the official photographers and we innocent photographers. But the official photographers were kinda pissed I could tell.
