MACAU | 57th Macau Grand Prix 18-21 Nov 2010

This weekend will be the last race for F1 2010, which will decide the WDC 2010 title, and next F1 will only starts some time around March 2010.

Anyhow, this 18-21 Nov 2010, it will be the 57th Macau Grand Prix, quite a tight street circuit.

Just some photos of the arena taken last few weeks.

The venue is just a stone throw away from the ferry terminal.

The colourful seats for the spectators.

The pitstop area, the surface is being scrapped off, to make way for new layers of tarmac.





F1 | Mercedes GP vs. McLaren 2010

Mercedes has confirmed the buy-in of Brawn GP, hence for F1 2010 Mercedes will have its own team, yet, Mercedes has agreed to supply engine for McLaren til 2015.

So now the questions are, will Button be paired with Hamilton in the McLaren, hence the all-British team, and Mercedes GP might be having Nico Rosberg as one of their driver.

But what will happen to Kimi?

Some questions need to be answered soon.

From the earlier image of Mercedes GP, it looks like they might retained their silver look livery, whereas McLaren might be back to their orange livery, but all of these yet to be confirmed.

F1 2010, seems to be an interesting one, with Korea as a new add-on track, and the Montreal, Canada is back on the calendar.

Who cares about Ferarri! By mid-season Alonso and Massa might have their rift, just like Hamilton & Alonso, when they were together at McLaren.

TRAVEL | SINGAPORE | The Fullerton Hotel at Turn 14

The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore.



As many people would know by now, Singapore will be hosting the world 1st ever Night Time F1 race, scheduled to be held on the 28th September 2008.

It will be a street race, and the Fullerton Hotel will be one of the witnesses of this amazing race.

The race will be held within the vicinity of the Marina Bay area, and the Fullerton Hotel is at Turn 14.

If you wanna be a part of the historic event, book your tickets and hotel now, but mind you, the hotel along the race track cost at least $1,000 per room per night! And you have to book it for the "5 days" weekend!

The flood lights are now being tested at St. Andrew's Road, the intensity of the race light is about 3,000 Lux, oh FYI, the normal street light is about 100 Lux, where as the normal sunlight is about 50,000 Lux!

For sure, the road will need to be resurfaced, and the manhole covers need to be welded, or otherwise the G-Force from the over 300km/h F1 car will pull them open!

RANDOM | The Joyous Moment

A joyous moment to celebrate after a fruitful event.


Hugging each other, happy as everything went well.

On another note, it was a joyous moment for the McLaren's Team as well, as Lewis Hamilton won the 1st place in the Melbourne ING F1 yesterday (16.03.2008).

It was an exhilarating race, even as early as before the first turn in the 1st lap, accident happens.

Then there was another accident on Lap26, which affected Coulthard.

I think the new regulation of disabling the Electronic Traction Control has taken its toll, when instead of turning the tyres, Raikkonen just drove straight ahead after passing Kovalainen.

The Safety Car was "put-on-action" for couple of times.

At the end of the race, only 7 cars managed to complete the race, with 3 different teams on the podium, and for the very first time, none of the Prancing Horse team completed the race.

Nevertheless, Raikkonen were awarded 1 point for "finishing" 8th.

Well, there's still a long season ahead, so many drama to come, and the next one will be Sepang Petronas F1 race in KL this weekend.

RANDOM | The Happy Green One ...

... just a simple photo of a green figurine on top of the roof ... looks happy .... hmmm....


... one leg up .. yeaaaa ... I am the happy green one ...

.. on the other hand ... the 2007 F1 season have come to the finale ... or is it ..? ... Kimi Raikkonen might have won the Interlagos, Brazil race ... but the McLaren team has made an appeal about the fuel issue .. and if McLaren manage to win the appeal ... Lewis Hamilton could win the Driver's Championship title ...

.. it was a thrilling race ... turning wide at the early turn .. pushed Hamilton to the 8th place... and then.. another problem occured ... his gearbox suddenly shifted to Neutral ... hence made him to a near halt.. and loses about 40 seconds... and placed him to the 18th position .... and one car to another.... up to the final lap ... Hamilton manage to take the 7th spot! ....

.... another driver that could do such feat is Raikkonen ... even during his days with McLaren.. he's good at passing from those tight spot ...

.. the Ferrari's team had done a very good yet predictable tactic ... even during the early starting seconds ... Massa and Raikkonen were all over Hamilton ... abis bah di kapitnya... inda membagi chance ... .. eh mana saja tah eh ... abis tia udah... tunggu saja tia dorang punya appeal ...

Drive Safe ... kamu bukannya dreber F1 ....

RANDOM | F1 Climax! ...

... this weekend we will witness the Formula One, F1, highly intense competition since the last 20 over years .... .. in 1982... there were also 3 contenders for the top spot during the final race .. namely ... Alain Prost ... Nigel Mansell ...& Nelson Piquet ...

.. Brazil's Interlagos track had witness the last 2 winnings of Alonso ... now ... Hamilton, Alonso & Raikkonen are still on the run of clinching the "Fastest Drivers" of 2007 ...

... can this be the 3rd win for Alonso ...? .. or Could it be Raikkonen of Ferarri ....? .. or perhaps... could it be the young rookie .. Mclaren's Lewis Hamilton ... who has an advantage of 4 points lead from the rest.... of which .. even finishing 2nd in Brazil will do ... hence to become the 1st rookie to win the F1 ever!!! ...

... in F1 race ... the 1st will get 10 point.. the 2nd .. 8 points then 6 points .. 5 .. 3 ...2 ..1 ... and the Driver's standing at the moment is Lewis Hamilton (107 points), Fernando Alonso (103) & Kimi Raikkonen (100) ....

.. hence .. mathematically ... even if Hamilton get no. 7 position .. he still can win the championship ... as long as Fernando .. and Kimi get the 8 or 9 or further .... I still can lay down all the mathematical probabilities .. but hmmm... I just won't do that ...


... the world famous emblem ... the Mercedes logo ... and the engine .... Mercedes V8 which powers the McLaren's .... made a good combo ...

... eeermm.. oh yea ... what if they have an equal number of points you might ask .... well... the winner will then be decided by .. who got the most number of number one .... then the 2nd ... 3rd... and so on ....

... personally .. I'd love to see Hamilton to win this year's Driver's championship title ... because it is good to witness a history in the making ... the first rookie ever to win straight podium finishes .. as well as to win the Driver's championship title ... otherwise.. we will never or extremely difficult to see such thing happens in the near future ....

... and Renault ... u can get back Alonso if u want to ... and hmmm.. McLaren .. u should get back Kimi from Ferrari ...

... remember to watch the F1 this Sunday .. for sure u don't wanna get out of your seat ...!!...
