The Formula One race was incredible. We were sitting at curve 7, (look at the map to the left). This was a great spot to see the car try to over take each other and is one of the fastest curves in the Formula One circuit. The weather was not the best. It rained, at one point very hard. Luckily Matthew, Susan and I went to a local store and bought some slickers. Everyone had a good time. Even Susan, who normally doesn't like racing.
I bought Matthew a giant Ferrari flag. In addition to the flag, he wore his bright red Ferrari shirt. He looked like he worked for Ferrari. The girls, (which he c
alls Coochie Mamas, don't ask), loved him. They were taking pictures of him waving his flag like he just conquered China or something.You haven't really experienced a Formula One race until you've been to one. I've been watching these races for years but, I never truly felt the electricity of the fans or the brute force and speed of the cars and the deafening noise, what a rush!
We were hoping for a good race and it was. Schumacher came from 6th place on the grid to win the race. A classic battle between good, in this case Ferrari, and evil, in this case Renault. God it was good. If you ever have the opportunity to go to one of these races, take it. The tickets are not cheap, transportation in and out of the race track is exhausting but, you will truly love it. We are definitely going next year, maybe we'll buy our tickets tomorrow.
