This what one of my friends muttered when I was trying in vain to explain to her why F1 was more than a teosterone driven activity, which involved pressing the gas pedal really hard. To any F1 fan, it’s about speed, aggression, skill, engineering, split second pit stops. True metamorphosis of the man and the machine!
The topic of conversation was the upcoming Singapore grand prix, which not only marked the 800th F1 race, but also the first F1 night race. And what a race it was. Though I am a bit disappointed with Massa not being able overtake Hamilton in championship race. But, it ensured that the last three races are going to be tactical wars, with Ferrari pulling out all stops and we can hope to see some great races!
Suprise Suprise! Force India came home with a podium finish, muchos thanks to Giancarlo Fisichella. Mr. Mallya, would be a very drunk and happy man that night. It is quite an achievement surely.
But, this post is not about the race, it’s about the track. And the track was a beauty, not only was it a street circuit, it was a night race. And it lived up to all the expectations that I had from it. For more updates please visit Big Picture.

Haha! How can we thank thee enough? How shall we thank thee enough?
More than just the metamorphosis, I like how the whole idea of the perfect 'Formula-1' changes with every year. Such are the whims of man! ;)
haha! No No! The overall picture of a perfect "Formula-1", is subject to some constants...
* Ferrari Winning
* Ferrari Winning Constructors championship... :)
This circuit was a beauty! There are talks about the F1 in India being a night race, Is the power ministry listening in?? :)
Hahaha! I was there :P :P
They did choose a really good route - it's the prettiest part of the city. AND my office is right there...
The lights were insane - they could probably light up half of UP of something with that much power.
