My First Ever F1 Weekend

Attended my first ever F1 race. Its a long story, but essentially, it was unplanned. I was at my credit card payment, and saw a link for discounted tickets (since the credit card company was the main sponsors).  So I decided to click through, and the next thing I know, I was looking at acquiring at super prime seat, 3rd row from the front, in the Padang Grandstand, at a ridiculous price.

So i carried on, and paid for the ticket, and within a few weeks, it was here.

Friday was practice day, and was my first experience of the F1 engine noise. In short, it was totally painful, despite SAF standard earplugs.

It rained earlier on Friday, leaving the track wet for the practice session; as such, the drivers were not even going full out.

The funny thing was that Missy Elliott was probably louder than the F1 cars.
