Formula 1 Sepang 20 Mar 2005

2005 Formula One in Sepang saw some exciting dramas on the final race, but from where I sat, my view was for over-taking moments only. 2 laps after the green light, Honda teams were subsequently retired simultaneously due to engine blow. Patrick Friesacher of the all-time pitiful anonymous Minardi-Cosworth and Jacques Villenueve of Sauber spun off the track in lap 2 and lap 26 repectively. Giancarlo Fisichella of Renault retired with BMW's Mark Webber in the controversial 36th lap accident. From lap 2 onwards, we were just quizzed on some cars were actually not running, but we didn't know who at that moment. So, next time I would not forget to bring a binocular to a Formula 1 event. Overall, it was a hot and exciting day at Sepang F1 circuit.


The sight from our venue


From left: Renault, Toyota, Renault


And so BAR-Honda has called it a day after finishing lap 2


The people were praying for Schumi after chequered flag


ORANGE - a tele communication company not available in Malaysia, but aggresively advertised in M'sia's F1


Upclose and personal : The track


The side track where F1 cars made curvy turns and stormed through the grass, but not touching the green stones on far left before the white stones


An Astro concert was 1/2 and hour after the event


I came for this team


Those who made appearance, two of a million ants


These are entirely alien to us. But they insisted on taking pictures. I guess they are models-wannabes. Hehehe


Is this job being advertised before? I wonder what does he do?

For official results, here they are.
