I am one of luckiest person who could manage to watch Formula 1 race despite my busy schedule.
For the last 1 years I am hearing that this year Formula 1 is coming in the gulf for the 1St time.
There were mixed comments regarding the success of the event. From my point it was successful event?I might need to write a separate review on this topic. Here I want to write only about my day at Formula 1.
Every thing went like this?Morning w/t fail I got up very early, I make sure that I am carrying all the tickets and my friends are also on time. (As I don?t want to miss a single min of the event?)
It was 1st day of 3 days Formula 1 event. On 1st day only 2/3- there was only practice match and press conference?. The actual event was in area called Sakhir, which is quite outside the Manama.
On the way I could see Bahrain flags and Formula 1 flags everywhere. Road maps and signboards were also put up at appropriate places so that, there is no chance of confusion for the visitors.
Security was also up to the mark on the way. Police were during their best job make this event grant successful
Around 9.0 clock I reached there. Parking arrangement was also gr8, spread across long area and was according to tickets block?.
Outside the complex, all leading car manufactures (like Ferrari, Toyota, BMW, Merc and etc.) Had put their display/outlets/ Point of sale and of course Gulf air also put their stall?After all Gulf air one the main sponsor. There was wide range of variety of products that includes T-shirts, caps, Pens, Car models, Hats, flags and earplugs. I purchase one car model for one of my best friend.
Merc had put their car for display. It was sexiest car I ever seen. Price was just around 100 thousand BD (1 BD ~ 3.33 us $). Even Ferrari had kept one red coloured car that was meant for lucky draw. (Hope I had won this in the draw.) Any way! Better luck next time? Then I entered main grand stand. It was massive and huge complex.
I was lucky enough to get seat opposite to M.Schumakar?s car service station i.e. Pit stop. It was superb to watch his entire team when they change Tyres and does re-fueling. By this time, their practice match was started. It was superb to watch this fast moving car. It was race between man, machine and time. When a car passes by your side you can?t bare the sound.
The sound was similar to flight landing. Most of the ppl prefer to buy ear-buds to avoid such a terrific sound. After first session then I had my lunch and did some TP. (watching good babes?(As I am still unmarried)) Then I saw their second practice session and in the evening I returned to my sweat home, totally charged with F1 experience.
I hope next year also I can attained the Formula 1.If u get the chance to see the Formula 1, don?t miss the chance.
