whew ! Back after the F1 trip - the exp was kickass ! The cars zoom past you at a speed thats quite unimaginable....the sound is just great, u just have to feel it....can't describe it in words....we were just some 10 feet form the race track, thanks to my frnds who took quite an expensive seating....we were quite close to the pit stop, the starting grid and 3 deep curves of the race track ! Attached are some photos....believe me the exp is a must in one's lifetime....if u happen to get a chance....dont let it go by ! The race itself was not so eventful, it was just between alonso and hamilton....kimi raikonnen showed promise when he climbed till 4, but alas he couldn't go further....massa was no good at around almost 15 seconds away from alonso thruout the race !

Me and my friends were wearing red ferrari official T-Shirts, we had a group of brazilians behind us....crzy shouting for Massa !How I wish schumi was there this season ! the best thing was, there were different shops selling official goodies of different companies, the highest crowd was in front of ferrari shops, even after ferrari losing the race, the crowd didnt diminish....and there was a seperate free parking lot only for ferrari cars- the collection was too good ! More than the race, its this sort of stuff that make up for the heavy amount spent...!

Thanks dude....yeah, sure visit one of them atleast once, it'll be worth the experieince, just make sure you take the proper seats, there are lot of spots where u just see a glimpse and will never know whats happening and have to depend on the tv screen ! We were lucky to get good seats - it was a bit costly - $145 per ticket....but it'll be really worth the cost ! Anyway - depends on place and track !
