Shanghai GP

F1 cars are insane - TV does no justice for the sound they produce. The BMW-Sauber cars sound especially raw. That is all.

Congrats to the RBR team - they were killing it and carried more speed through turn 1 than any of the other cars.

Ferrari still needs to get their sh-t together - it's becoming embarrassing.

Great race.

Vettel did a phenomenal job.

McLaren is slowly improving.

Ferrari is not...yet another unnamed technical problem...

My home is a 5 minute scooter ride from the Shanghai International Circuit. The ticket prices range anywhere from 700RMB to 3000+RMB for the weekend (100-450USD) but tickets can actually be bought last minute for about 300RMB (~40USD) or you can even grease the security guards to unlock an exit door and sneak you in. The circuit is incredible but the events are completely mismanaged, much like most things in China. You'd think they would capitalize (no pun int) on an event like this but concessions, beer, souvenirs etc. are completely lacking so it's a BYOB afternoon
