After a great start to the season opener at Australian Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel continued his winning streak in Sepang International Circuit. Qualified for pole position, he leads from the starting grid all the way to the chequered flag undisputed and untouchable with a comfortable lead of about 3+ sec apart from his closests contender, Jessen Button, who had a pretty much a roller coaster ride on his way to runner’s up.
Though all eyes are focused on the rivals between the top 2 teams, the Redbull and McLaren, the other teams are set to give a good clean fight as what we had witness at Sepang this time round. Ferrari with Massa and Alonso put up an impressive performance as they both had improved their positions.
I have always been a fan of team Ferrari since Schumacher’s era with the team, and I’m still a fan after his comeback even he’s with Mercedes GP now. With Ferrari not doing so well in the championship, I’ve keep my options open. The competition is more or less on the same level nowadays, even though Vettel seems unbeatable, but it’s still early as the season just started.
Before the start of the race, we bought ourselves shirts of the F1 teams we supported. As for me, I get myself a McLaren Mercedes Vodafone shirt which cost me quite a bomb, but WTHeck.. J. Voices telling me ‘Just buy and Just sign’.. Hmm …anyway, one of McLaren driver came 2nd which was not bad after all.. I guess.
Off Pit, when night falls, we drove to downtown KL, where we did a little bit of shopping at the nite market. The place was crowded even though it was in the wee hours of morning. We end the nite with a packet of hot nasi lemak and bottled drinks along the busy street of KL.
In a nutshell, we all enjoyed the race very much and the experience of viewing it from the Main Grandstand, just opposite the paddock, was indeed awesome. Although the ticket cost me another bomb, it was worth it. Personally, deep down, I hope that I would be able to witness Schumi up in a podium at least once this season.
Till the next 2012 Sepang F1 Race..... Cheers to my F1 buddies....
