I managed to get a ticket. Grin. I have photos from today to share with my UB brothers (and sisters).

Hail corporate clients! The lifeblood of F1.
Image
Tire change practice.
Image
Wheel it in!
Image
Bolt them on!
Image
Ferrari is doing it too.
Image
We can't refuel so it's all about tire change... can we recharge the KERS?!
Image
I like the red team.
Image
Put this guy in a Ferrari, will he still be faster than Alonso?
Image
Did I mention I like red?
Image
F1's pace cars can really keep up the pace.
Image
This SLS looks sexier than the formula cars!
Image
Entertainment outside the grandstands.
Image
The robot came in this throne/controller, but it can walk and talk and wave its arms.
Image
But they gave it such a geeky routine. Poor thing failed to impress the girl.
Image

So it was quite a festive day. And after a day of driving Yas Circuit sims, you realize why there are so many 3-corner sections in this circuit -- it gives huge runoff areas for added safety!

Day 2: qualifying session. Was a great qualifying as far as they go. A close race between Red Bull, McMerc, and Ferrari.

Vettel! He drives past pit and starts another lap during Q1.
Image
Alonso! After him! You can do it!
Image
The only pit lane in F1 with a tunnel for an exit.
Image
Massa!
Image
Q2 has ended. Lotus driver coming back to pit.
Image
My car is faster than a Formula 1... in reverse!
Image
Lotus driver looks longingly at delicious lollipop.
Image
The sun sets before the Sheik's tower.
Image
End of Q3. Vettel overcomes Hamilton's dominance today by taking Q3 victory!
Image
The pole and I? Yeah we're best buddies.

Yas Hotel in the middle of the circuit. I heard it was fully booked!
Image

Yo dawg, I heard you like the Yas circuit so I simulated a Yas circuit in your Yas circuit...
Image
Another one down, one more to go in Brazil.
Image
Hey if you guys aren't using those maybe I could borrow one for my morning commute?
Image

Yachts and resort houses. F1 is truly a modest, everyday man affair.
Image
At a petrol station afterwards. Hey isn't that car...
Image

Only a few stickers makes this car way hotter than any pimped up ride. This is the aura of the pros!
