A day before the Grand Prix weekend officially gets the ball rolling, the street vendors are out in full-force, however admittedly in this trying times, at a much smaller scale. Two years ago, Ferrari celebrated 60 years in F1, and they closed Lygon St for a street demo in the F248 driven by test driver Luca Badoer. Last year, they booked Piazza Italia for a whole week before the race and put a show car on display. This year, well, to get a glimpse of the Ferrari F1 car, you'd have to attend the race itself.
And I'm doing just that. Been super frugal with spendings for the past two weeks, to somehow save up enough to get a ticket. Only ate out like four times in the last week and a half, and one of them was a picnic. lol..
I still am amazed how they manage to convert a recreational park, with a lake in the middle, into an F1 standard race track every single year in a matter of weeks. Albert Park is very much like Penang's Botanical Gardens, or Youth Park, but a fair bit bigger of course. Every day, people throng the park for recreational activites or just for a nice family day out.
It's gonna be a great weekend, hearing those V8s wailing at 19,000 rpm alway sends a shiver up my spine.
