Singapore GP - Preview
Hey everyone,
Next weekend, Singapore will be hosting its 3rd Formula One GP, around the streets of marina bay, in the darkness of the night. Some people compare the Singapore GP to tracks like Monaco, and Valencia. Now i think it is quite silly to rank the Singapore GP to a location like Monaco, because Monaco is all about prestige, and the rich and famous, and the history of the circuit, as the track has been used for racing since 1929.
However the Singapore GP has only been on the F1 calender since 2008, and is not about prestige; more for showcasing Singapore for its modern state.
Also, it cannot compare to the Valencia circuit, as the Singapore GP is more exciting, and has better corners, and more overtaking spots than the circuit in the Docks of Valencia.
Lets hope to see an exciting and Ferrari dominated grand prix. And for the tourists in Singapore for the GP, there are many F1 related events for you to enjoy, such as race simulators in Suntec City, Marina Square, and Ion Orchard.
Here are some pictures from the previous GPs. and once again, thanks for reading my awesome blog.

2010 Belgian GP - Review
Spa-Francorchamps. The most famous circuit of em all on the calender. Every year it promises to provide racing at its best, and this years GP was no exception. A few celebrations were in order, the first of which was Mark Webbers birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEBBER! and the second of which, is a major milestone in any F1 drivers career, which was Rubens Barrichello's 300th Grands Prix. 300!! Congratulations Rubens!
Off the race start, and the weather was already showing its dark side, literally, as dark clouds started to gather over the Ardennes forest, spitting drops of rain at the first corner. Webber got a really bad start, while the others got away cleanly.
However, the disappointment of the day happened at the end of lap one, where Rubens Barrichello got taken out at the bus stop chicane. lets hope his 301th race would be much much better.
Also, another disappointment was when Fernando (Alonso) got caught out by the weather, and spun out at turn 5, and hit the barrier and wrecked the front end of the car, deeming it un-drivable.
However, Massa did drive a clean race, and in comparison, Hamilton drove a brilliant race, going into the gravel trap and escaping it oh so narrowly, inches away from the tyre barrier.
Next race coming up would be at the famed Ferrari stomping ground, the famous Monza circuit, in Italy. Hopefully Ferrari would get their long awaited 1-2 podium finish.
I thank you, loyal readers, of my humble blog once again, and i leave you with a few pictures of Monza.

2010 Turkish GP - Review
Well! what can i say?
the result of an entanglement between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber saw Webber losing the lead and dropping to 3rd place, and much worse off, retiring Vettel from the race.
The big winner was of course, 3rd placed man, Lewis Hamilton, who, after the Red Bull fumble, saw him clinching his first win of 2010, on the 7th race of the season after a dry spell of wins.
The Ferraris' simply lacked pace this weekend, with Alonso qualifying 12th and Massa 8th, and finishing 8th and 7th respectively.
It was a rather boring race, somewhat similar to the bahrain situation; winner depended on the misfortune of others.
Looking forward to the next race, which is the wonderful Canadian Grand Prix, making its return to the sport this year. The race is on from the 11th to the 13th of june, giving the teams a 2 week break, especially for Red Bull, to sort out their management issues.
Till then, drive safe!

2010 Malaysian Gp - Review
The weekend certainly did not pan out as i had expected, with the weather wreaking havock on some teams, and the dry conditions which let to a rather boring race compared to last weekend's Australian Gp.
The Ferrari's had a very bad weekend, starting with the over-reliance on the weather forecasting system, as Ferrari had predicted that the weather would get better, but instead got worse, and were stuck without a good lap time, and were caught out.
During the race, the Ferraris were making up places, and so were the McLarens, who were also extremely quick, but today was Red Bulls day, which is well deserved, after the mis-fortunes from the past 2 races.
Driver of the day again, has to go to Alonso, Because apparently, he had a gearbox problem for the whole race, and he had no clutch, but still could keep pace with Massa and Button in the closing stages of the race, and even managed to try to overtake Button, but the car was the weakest link in the Ferrari camp this weekend, as some cracks are seen in their apparently rock-solid reliability.
I am sure the everyone would be looking forward to the next Grand Prix, which takes place in Shanghai on the 16th to the 18th of april, which is a fortnight away.
Here are some panoramic pictures from the grand prix

2010 Malaysian Gp - Preview
This weekend in Sepang looks like its set to be another thriller. The most accurate weather forecast i know of tells me that RAIN will most likely be the conditions that the drivers have to practice, qualify, and race under. But like most races, we shall wait and see because weather can change.
Even though the Red Bulls have not finished well over the past 2 races, still the advantage seems to be with them, as they seem to have the best package, as proved in the past 2 races in Bahrain, and Australia.
Bahrain : Med-High speed corners - Good Aerodynamic package
Australia : Slow-Med-High speed corners - Great Mechanical grip
Sepang is a very aero-dependant track, and if you want a fast time, you need the best aerodynamic package, of which Red Bull seems to have. Hopefully ferrari would have brought some upgrades, to match the Red Bulls
Stay tuned for updates over the weekeend, i will be updating them here!
