What kind of experience is it for a girl to watch F1 alone?

When it comes to F1 (Formula One World Championship), everyone knows that it is a racing sport. When it comes to racing, many people think that it is a sport that boys like.

But this September, I, a girl of 3+, went to Singapore alone for three days. Besides the delicious food, the main purpose of my visit is the F1 Singapore Grand Prix. Some people say that a racing sport is worthy of your special experience by flying thousands of miles as a girl?

I said, if you have the opportunity to visit the site and experience its lively atmosphere and unique culture, you must be in glad you came. Even if you are not a professional racing fan, even if you know little about racing culture, you will be infected by this big party-style sport.

Of course, fortunately, I'm still a racing fan. Since 216, I've watched almost every F1 race on TV, and I know something about the scoring system, drivers and the places where the races are held.

So, when I was introduced to the motorsport, the male ticket said: Singapore Grand Prix may be the last year. Now or never, five-star experience! Going or not?

I immediately promised to leave, but the plane tickets and tickets were all arranged (smug face)! You know, when I watched the live TV broadcast, I was fascinated by the beauty of the midnight battle in Singapore and fantasized about the scene where the racing car roared under the Jinsha Hotel.

and all this is about to happen in front of my eyes.

I watched F1 live for the first time in March, 216. It's only one and a half years since then, and I've gone through three overseas sub-stations, including Singapore, Malaysia and Bahrain in the Middle East. In addition, I also watched the game at Shanghai Station in China twice.

In fact, F1 is the "three major sports events in the world" on par with the Olympic Games and the World Cup. However, its popularity and reputation in China are not as good as the other two. The reason is very simple. Its threshold and technical content are higher, and it is not as popular as football and table tennis, and anyone can participate.

As anyone who knows F1 race knows, it adopts the integral system and holds sub-races all over the world. Each sub-station produces a sub-station champion, and the driver with the highest score points in each sub-station throughout the year becomes the F1 world champion of that year.

Hamilton of Mercedes-Benz finally surpassed Vettel, the Ferrari driver who has always been in the leading position, in Italy, Singapore, this year.

However, in recent two or three years, Ferrari has performed brilliantly in Singapore, so Vettel is very likely to overtake and lead again. So this game, even from a professional point of view, is very interesting.

However, as I have always believed, racing is the truth of life. From the very beginning, this game surprised people and surprised the audience. I will talk about the details later.

The reason why you must come to Singapore to experience racing is because it is the creator of the night race and the only street race held in F1 at night.

one and a half years ago, I experienced the twilight race in F1, which was at the Sakil circuit in Bahrain. The dusk scenery was unpredictable, and it was a scene every ten minutes. The colors were changeable, beautiful and impressive.

However, after nightfall, when the surroundings sink into darkness, only huge lights are left, and the race that runs around the track is a little boring, especially when the driver you support retires or loses, the visibility will be much reduced.

but the Singapore circuit will not be like this. Here, the audience can watch the game and enjoy the night view. Experience the roar and cheers of the engine under the bright lights.

even if the race is deadlocked occasionally, regardless of the outcome, you can experience the prosperity of the city night scene in a colorful way, which is really incomparable to other tracks.

not to mention the street race. With the existing roads in the city center as the track, the whole city is a natural competition site. Although it is not easy for local residents to close roads and bypass roads, it is a rare experience for us foreign tourists and spectators.

not to mention, the track is located in the center of the city, and all spectators can go by subway, which is very convenient. It avoids the hard work of taking the shuttle bus to and from the track on the outskirts of the city.

each F1 substation is held for three days, the first day is the first two practice races, the second day is the third practice race and qualifying race, and the third day is the race. Except for a few special tracks, almost all of them are held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

This year's Singapore Station will be held from September 15th to 17th. I arrived in the local area on Friday afternoon, 15th, and directly ignored the first day of practice.

However, when I arrived at the airport at three o'clock that afternoon, I met many fans who shared my thoughts. I just came here to watch the game. Blocking the entry point.

I remember that when I was traveling in Singapore two years ago, there were so few people at the customs clearance that I came in directly without queuing. At present, during the competition, it is full of people, and it took some time to queue up to get through smoothly.

The first thing to do after settling down is to collect the tickets. I have to praise the Singapore Grand Prix Organizing Committee for making the tickets exquisite and easy to carry.

The three-day tickets are hung by a colored ribbon according to the dates. Compared with other tracks, which are just ordinary tickets, it really takes a lot of care, and the colors of each stand are different, so you can see the difference at a glance.

hang this ticket on your chest, it's very tall, and it's wood and wood (stealing smiles).

with these tickets, I entered the race track on Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy the unique charm of this world-class sports event at close range.

Thanks to the previous experience of watching F1 with men's tickets, although it was my first time to watch the race in Singapore, I already knew what to think and how to find the stands, so before the race started, I was not in a hurry to go to the stands and sit down, but decided to look around and enjoy the unique international style near the track.

Like other racetracks where fans are scattered everywhere, there are also a large number of spectators from all over the world. My ears are mixed with languages from all over the world, English and French with different accents ... Everyone gathers here, as if to hold a world-class big party

, and the high-rise buildings near the track have also become a different kind of scenery at the competition site, echoing the people in the carnival at a distance, which makes people intoxicated.

Here, I would like to recommend one of the biggest highlights of the F1 Night Race in Singapore, that is, the concerts scattered around the track. It's really feel. As always, many stars have been invited to help out this year, and many of them have been nominated for Grammy Awards.

No matter before or after the game, fans can stop and relax with the music. The performance stage set up near the city hall is even more popular, and many people sing and dance with the music on the grass, which is a full concert posture.

After this year's qualifying and race, I spent half an hour to an hour listening to the concert on the spot, feeling this music feast with the whole city as the background. It can really be described as high, which is absolutely comparable to the competition itself. I can't help but jump out of my mind with a poem: oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases.

Actually, other tracks also have performances, and because of different regions, they have their own characteristics, which are also worth appreciating and watching, but perhaps because of the daytime, the atmosphere is not as climax as Singapore.

maybe it's because after dark, everyone is more open. Many people directly regard the show field as a dance floor and improvise.

with so many tidbits about the competition, let's return to the competition itself.

People always ask me, how can a girl like you like this kind of manly sport? Isn't it boring to watch this kind of running in circles?

indeed! It's really easy to get bored if you just watch the fun and don't know its rules and connotations.

But after I watched live TV for the first time and learned its rules, I found that the process of racing is really like life, a ups and downs and unpredictable life.

this is well reflected in this year's Singapore station.

Singapore circuit is characterized by high and low pressure, which requires high aerodynamics. In recent two or three years, Ferrari has certain advantages here.

Vettel, the Ferrari driver who has been in the leading position this year, won four races in Singapore in 211, 212, 213 and 215.

This time, it won the first pole position in qualifying, so it can be said that winning the 217 Singapore sub-station championship is a must. I believe all Ferrari fans began to fantasize about his wonderful performance the next night when they saw him win the pole position.

but life is so full of variables.

since Singapore hosted F1 for ten years, it has never rained during the race, but this year, just before the start of the race, it thundered and thundered, and raindrops fell.

the point is, it's raining harder and harder, with no intention of stopping.

The rain peaked before the start of the race, and it was pouring. The audience around me ignored the warning and took out rain gear one after another. I muttered to myself and had an ominous premonition.

After all, tires are easy to slip in rainy days, which increases many variables.

Sure enough, at the moment of starting, Ferrari and Red Bull collided, and before the first corner, the three cars retired one after another. This includes Vettel, who is the most promising to win the sub-station championship.

There should be many Ferrari fans in my bay grandstand. After witnessing the crash in front of the big screen, the crowd burst into strong sighs and complaints. Coupled with the downpour, many people are restless.

I, too, once sat in the audience, with no intention of watching any more, and my heart was lonely.

at that moment, I really have to feel that this is motor racing and this is life. Even with talent, ability and geographical advantages,

without God's help and the stability of the car, it's over when it's over.

But on second thought, this is one of the reasons why I like motor racing. This sport needs strength, teamwork and luck as well.

just like life, the right place and the right time are indispensable. Otherwise, even if you have the strength and conditions to win the championship, you can't have the last laugh.

In the end, the winner of this race belongs to Hamilton of Mercedes-Benz team. I believe that even he didn't expect to win the championship in the fifth starting position, and he smiled brilliantly when interviewed.

Meanwhile, I thought of Sepang Circuit in Malaysia last October, and witnessed the scene that he led for more than 4 laps, but he retired in the middle of the race because the car burst.

That game also became the turning point of Hamilton's whole season last year, which made him miss the championship in 216.

experiencing the three-day competition is like watching a big reality show, which is very lively and unique.

Actually, for us ordinary people, winning or losing the game is not important, but the experience itself is truly unforgettable. Strangers from all over the world get together for a game.

those moments when different cultures collide.

The deepest memory left by this sport to the audience is the respect when you see the famous racing car.

Just when I thought this competition would be the swan song of F1 Singapore, on September 15th, it was officially announced that Singapore F1 would be renewed for four years, which would last until 221, and Shanghai F1 would last until 22.

After watching the game on the spot for five times, I have a deeper understanding of this sport.

I hope I can go to more F1 sub-stations and experience different exciting races in my lifetime.

I believe that these will be one of the most precious experiences in my life.
