Vrrrrooooommmmmm!!!!!!!!

Indy, the blazing sun, ice cold water and beer vendors, a stadium which looked like someone had splashed red across its bleachers and 22 roaring cars..

The Formula 1 race.. A truly phenomenal experience!

22 speed demons set out on a sinuous racing track.. in an effort to conquer it again and yet again (73 times to be precise!).. and emerge victorious..

The first lap was extremely eventful with 6 cars in a head on collision with each other leading to one of them taking 3, 360 degree flips in the air.. I reached out to hold my friend’s hand saying “Marr Gaya” with a sinking heart..

When the driver was interviewed later, he just shrugged his shoulders saying “it was just three flips in the air.. not a big deal” you know.. the banal attitude of “all in a day’s work” .. lol!

The rest of the race was spent trying to capture Schumi’s Red Ferrari on camera.. I think I caught the dust that it left in its wake several times!!!! I even got a shot of Massa’s car thinking it’s the Ferrari that I wanted, later realizing that I managed to capture the other one which was a couple of seconds behind Schumi’s red haze!

The noise, the feel of the car in your bones, the anticipation of the win and seeing “the red” cruise through the checkered flag!

To the great one, for giving the performance of a lifetime!
