ok update. =)


The historical F1 week just past and i was involved in it by working with BMW for the event! It's the first ever night race, and also the first time it's held in SINGAPORE.
Okay, let me start off by talking about the race.



F1 for DUMMIES


-It is one of the most dangerous sports in the world at the moment

-Contary to popular beliefs, each team consists more members as compared to soccer



-The f1 car does not have a door or windows

-You can't be chauffered around in an F1 car

-Singapore has the toughest tracks


-Remember to pull out the petrol pump when you're done refuelling

-Just because it's a night race doesn't mean you need night goggles for it

-Every team needs a lollipop man



and last but not least....

-The starting line, is the finishing line.




What i observed:
Every sports has it's rules and regulations to guide you through.
For the F1, the drivers strictly adhere to the rules, if not they will be fine.
'What's $10,000 to a team who has an annual income of billions?' some may ask.
But it's more than just that. Many fail to see the danger involved.
The divers stick with the rules not because of the fine, but because they place the lives of others above themselves.
Some drivers whined that the rules are too confining, that they do not have the opportunity to showcase their talent. Others complain that the rules caused them to lose the race.
But F1 is not just about winning the race. It's about completing it, and the rules are there to ensure you complete the race.



During this eventful race in Singapore, we also witnessed the Massa incident at the pit stop(his teammates did not manage to pull out the gas pump in time). It was a costly mistake that might have just given Hamilton the title!
Massa was dejected. Massa was crestfallen. Massa was grievous.
But son, no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistake. So cheer up, look forward to the next race, and move on.
If you keep focusing on why your crew made the mistake, why that mistake caused you to lose the love to race, you will get nowhere. Worse case, if you think that you are racing because you were told to race or because you are good at racing, YOU ARE SO WRONG, because eventually you will get tired of racing. You race because you love to race, and when the going gets tough, you look back at the decision that you raced out of love.
No one can help you other than yourself (and of course God).
Cheers =)
