Phoenix Team Kenya - 8th Day

After a long journey from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, we settled down in the Ibis Hotel. Mr Lopez was very pleased that the hotel was right next to a 3 floor high ICT store. We then went to the Conrad Hotel, headquarters of the Maclaren F1 team where we were treated to a selection of oriental food and desserts by the swimming-pool. We collected our GP tickets and we were going back to the hotel after lunch when we got a call to enter the paddocks area. It is just like on tv really. We saw Bernie Ecclestone having a chat with BBC commentator Edie Jordan. It was very busy as the time for practice 1 had started. We were allowed into the Lotus Team garage were we observed the action and listened to their team radio. It was much noisier than we thought.
Just as we were leaving we had a chance to greet Bernie Ecclestone, F1 boss.



We then walked all the way to our sitting area to watch the second practice run. We were absolutely exhausted by the end of the day and Mr Lopez told us that we could sleep till 10am and then go to breakfast and eat as much as we wanted.
