Formula 1 Grand Prix 2006

in the 1st and 2nd of april, i went to see the F1 in melbourne. i always watched it on tv and never thought i was able to go and watch it directly.
at first, i was thinking about buying a ticket. it was 68 dollars. it's expensive but i thought it worth it. however, i didn't have to buy it. my hostfather is a tour guide, and he was doing the tour guide for the F1. so he let me use the pass to get in the circuit for free. i am so lucky! i could watch 2 days of F1 for free.
it was very exciting. the cars ran so fast that it was very difficult to get a photo of it.
and the cars were very noisy. i thought my ears would explode. but it was exciting and fun. i was very happy in watching the F1 in spite of the crash in the Ferrari car.
it was an exciting race because many cars crashed. one of the cars got fire right in front of where i was. the race ended up in Renaul's pilot winning, the second was Kimi Raikonen from Mercedes and Raul Shumacher from Toyota. I wanted Felipe Massa from Ferrari to win but he crashed in the first lap lol
after the race finished, everyone could walk in the circuit so i went there and took pictures. in the end of the day, i was very tired but i had a good time in both days of F1. it was a rare and great experience in my life to go see the F1.
