Australia F1 Grand Prix Pt.3: F1 and Misc

We began Part 3 with some girls action..





























Then back to cars....Mercedes-Benz Petronas, my team of the year with their Mercedes MGP W01






























































BMW Sauber Ferrari's Sauber C29






























Ferrari on their F10 machine..














































McLaren's MP4-25






























Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Racing's VR-01















Force India with their VJM03






























Red Bull, dubbed having the fastest cars in 2010 season with their RB6, having personally experience their sound (nothing else...haha), their car have the most obvious difference compare to the other cars, judging from one corner, all the other car's sound and speed rises gradually as they exit the apex, but for the RB6, once they hit the apex, sound and the car itself spiked itself up like a Honda just engage VTEC or boost kicking in in a Turbo car, the car literally just 'jump' out of the apex as oppose to the other car that seemingly glides around it.....














































And lastly, Malaysia's effort reflected on the Lotus Cosworth's T127......go Malaysia go !!






























A weird cloud formation













This pic sorta speaks the both isn't it ?













Me on the Albert Park ~~`













Me and Andrew and Mister Cheeky behind us hahahhahaah













Next up, theres some car autoshow which includes some nice good cars, example this old picnic car haha, the Fiat 500













And the present Fiat 500, another nice reflection of how the replacement car retains the old identity of the previous car.













Abarth Edition !



























Bumblebee was there as well....Chevy Camaro~













A track bike GSX-R i think...













R33 GTR..



























This one has ATTKD brakes....for those of don't know, ATTKD stands for Autech-Tsukada, which is a uprising GT-R tuner based in Nagano, Japan and is ripping up records at Tsukuba circuit..













R32 GTR













Honda NSX w/ Wide body













And lastly, a Porsche 911 w/ Gulf Martini racing decal...nice ~~~~~













A Porsche Panamera as a Medical car !















They have a real scale display of the previous McLaren F1 car, the MP4-24, and have a short competition on the fastest tyre changing on a real scale, using a supposedly F1 spec air gun, the fastest record was 3.8 seconds, but the fastest i've seen that time was just 9 seconds, and that was like super fast ~ guess its really THAT HARD haha






























And as a souvenir, i got this F1 Honda Racing (which has retired from F1) bag for just a mere 5 dollar ^^
















And tat concludes the 100+ pics post of my first ever experience on F1....first of all, its amazing how we got to experience something that has used up tons of resources, man-power, brainstorming, as well as geniuses of engineering pushing the boundaries with the car as their footpath to achieving it as well as reflecting it. And we get to be apart of something as big as this, other than aeronautical or NASA-level engineering, F1 is probably the largest engineering breakthrough all over the years. And being a part of it will surely changes someone's life....

And again, i wont be expecting Lotus Cosworth to be on the championship, but do hope they finish well and come again next year, but for now, im putting my hopes,
on Team Mercedes Petronas GP














Reason? Go PETRONAS ~~~~!

(thank you Joe for some of the pictures)
