A friend who just returned from Singapore was impressed with the changes that had taken place since his last trip – 10 years ago.
What’s more, tagging along a couple of friends who went solely for the Singapore Grand Prix which took place last weekend – he had an eye-opening trip into the world of Formula 1 racing.
It matters little that he had not much idea of who the racers are and the competing teams. Or what takes place during this kind of racing weekend.
Or how much walking they will be doing in their Spenco-less footwear, easily losing a few kilograms (if they had not top the calories back on with their food bingeing).
Even getting off at the wrong MRT station – trying to reach Raffles City they went to Raffles Place Station – was an interesting experience.
How can he not be charmed and awed – having bird eye views of the supercars with their thundering engine noises and the spectacular Marina Bay Sands right in front.
I am not sure if he is now a converted F1 fan but I do know that it was the trip of the year for him- as it should from their pictures.
