Our flight reached on time but got delayed in the lunatic visa run arrounds which caused us to miss the pit walk :.( Because of which I havent had a chance to see the circuit yet, but whatever i saw it was nice. Still a lot is under construction, i cant wait for this to complete and open to public for track days.

After being there(@4) a little late for the pit walk and too early for the concert, we didnt have much option other than wait around like lunes. Decided to do that and beyonce came @ 8, by then we were exhausted so watched a little and came back.

We will skip today and go for the Practice session #3, GP2 race and F1 pre quals tom. Cant wait for that. Will try and post pictures when i come back tom. Anyone else there between 2-6 on sat, you could PM me and we can try and meet.

Cheers

Hamilton on pole , with Vettel and Webber P2 and P3 . Barrichello again outqualifies Button . Alonso labels the Renault R29 as the "worst car on the grid " after qualifying 16th . Kimi qualifies 11th for his last race in Ferrari . Both the BMW's in top ten .

Ron Dennis is in the McLaren garage! Out goes Max and back comes Dennis.

Oops... sorry 1Day, saw your post only today. Would've tried to meet up with you otherwise. But if you are around for a couple more days and have some spare time, let me know, we could meet up. My number is 0501571185.

Tickets are too freaking expensive and I'll be watching the race in the comfort of my home most probably.

Wow what a race !
The circuit was brilliant . It was a grand finale to the season . It is the best new circuit in F1 . It simply is .
A consolation 1-2 for RedBull with the new worldchampion Button in third .
The Jenson vs Webber fight for second and third was awesome .
Kamui Kobayashi was amazing , he is just getting better and better . That move on Jenson was such a treat to watch !
As for Jamie Alguesuari , well that pitlane show was hillarious, dumb and embarassing. Just how did he pull it off .

Goodbye BMW Sauber .
Goodbye to Kimi-Ferrari . I hope the Iceman continues to race in Formula 1 .
