Meeting the legend

I finally got to meet Michael Schumacher at the F1 races at Sepang. its really a dream come true. Schuemacher had retired for over 3 years (since then I stopped watching F1). and now he's making a come back!!! how often does that happen???  It's probably was the highlight of my year. Not just for the fact that he's the worlds greatest F1 racer, but  because I watched this guys every race as a teen for over seven years. Sundays chilling with my dad watching f1 on TV was a real treat. At 1st cheering for Beneton and then Ferrari. So you might guess its something like you've been reading superman comics all your childhood and finally getting to meet him.



I headed to the track early before my friends. they just wanted to see the races. There was a long queue already. while waiting in the queue I made some friends. boy these guys know more about F1 than me lol. Even the girls. While this was my 1st real F1 race, this was their 6th. WOW!! 


The atmosphere at the races is really electric. the roar of the engines really gives you goosebumps. and people from all over the world are actually following where ever the races are going. there were people from aussie, japan, brazil, france, philippines, just about every country. it was 90% internationals and 10% locals. 

After taking Schumie's autograph, i shook his hand and wished him good luck. Not only only did I get his autograph, also got his team mate Nico Rosberg's too. added to that I also got autographs of Kamui Kobayashi and  Pedro de la Rosa  from Bmw sauber, Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari from red bull team and Vitantonio Luzzi and Adrian Sutil from force india. These guys are new to F1 so the organizers put them at the autograph session too before schumie. 

Before the races were an airshow by the malaysian airforce. it was really something, with the migs flying really close.

The races were great but schumies car broke down after 10 laps. what a bummer for the begining of the season. now the critics are screaming.that he hasn't got it in him anymore. wait and see there's plenty of racing left for the season. he'll take the championship.
