F1

The Etihad Airways Formula 1 Grand Prix is due to take place at the Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, this weekend. This year's race is more exciting than last year's since it will be the deciding race of 2010 F1 season. My radio station is the official media partner of the event and I've been to Yas several times lately for meetings. I do not follow the F1 races but today I realized that it is difficult escape the excitement when actually at the venue. These are the pictures I took from my mobile phone -

I also caught a glimpse of Italian F1 driver Jarno Trulli and our very own Karun Chandhok. Mark Webber of Red Bull was checking into the Yas Hotel while we were leaving and he was happy to pose for a picture for me. He stands at number 2 in the rankings so far with 238 points, but experts say that it could be anyone's race this time at the Yas Marina Circuit.
