SubscribeMy intrepid friend, Peter Chan, took another walk around the F1 pit garages and start-finish straight yesterday evening. (View his earlier walkabout.) Once again, he has shared his photos with me and given me permission to blog these. Here we go…
Work going on at the start-finish straight. I’m imagining 20 cars on the grid, waiting for the five lights to go out, signalling the start of the race. The sound is guaranteed to give you goosebumps. Hair raising, indeed…
Suzuka’s famous Ferris Wheel may no longer be an F1 feature since the Japan race moved to Fuji, but we’ve got our Singapore Flyer dominating the paddock skyline.

/ Saturday, 27 September 2008Hmmm… I’m not sure if they’ve acclimatised, but they really have to get on with it anyway. The drivers seem ok with it, judging from practice last night. They said it’s really hot and humid even though it’s night!
