F1 is Back! YEAH!!!!

Finally...the F1 season is back and this first race promised to be a cracker! Ferrari has a new lead driver with Kimi Raikkonen..... McLaren has new drivers with last year's champion Fernando Alonso as well as young rookie Lewis Hamilton, only one tyre supplier.....a whole host of new rules...and the big buzz of the F1 heading to Singapore really encouraged the boys from the club to turn up at 10.00 am just to catch the race at Post Bar in the Fullerton Hotel. Yep! The club turned up in full force with Franck M and family, Arthur Tay, Dr Ben....and of course Royston and Jaacky Tan! There was a fantastic array of cars parked outside the hotel which sure made heads and camera's turn! Big hand to my fellow shareholder in Monty Magazine, Gerald Tan who sponsored the event at the end of which we all had a hearty buffet lunch but had to park his Lambo in the back of the hotel. Talk about being politically correct even for a sponsor! Hahaha! Anyway.....Kimi brought home the gold with Massa doing a fantastic job of climbing from last place (due to a engine change no doubt) to sixth! Cannot wait for the Sepang race but don't think I will be going up. Not exactly a night out on the town but it sure felt like one!
