F1 Sepang 2014

2014 F1 race at Sepang. Went there together with my friend Deva for a 1st hand look on the new engine change for 2013 from V8 to V6 turbo. The sound does not really so excited , but overall the race were excited as before. FYI, this is my 3rd trip to Sepang for F1 race. The previous 2 were on 2005 & 2007, where Michael Schumacher still driving the Ferrari F1 car. I'm a team Ferrari supporter previously, but now , Team PETRONAS Mercedes drive by 2 young driver Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Both won the 1st and runner up this at Sepang. 

Excited to watch the race after 7 years, I  did a very terrible mistake !! I lost both race ticket on the day. Such a heart break to find out my ticket were lost during a photo session near the podium. My heart like  stop beating for a while, my heart pounding like just complete a 100 meter sprint. Deva , was mouth shut to see my situation. This is his 1st time F1 race. Did a complain to customer care , but they refuse to re-print my tickets , such an ass hole. Until I have no choice to buy another ticket , not cheap though .... unfortunately all the tickets were sold out at Grandstand F , they only have open ticket and other much more higher value tickets. In the mid of arguing with the ticket seller, if I can possibly buy back my own place, luckily the ticket supervisor a Malay women listen to my plea and try to help us to meet the higher superior ... MR. SAAS ... a white guy who happen to be the big boss over there. At first Mr. Saas refuse to reprint or refund my tickets , but after I console him and tell him that I'm coming from long way to witness the race ... he eventually agree to let us in by signing the ticket receipt ( happens to be I still keep the receipt in my wallet) and give a personal call to the gate supervisor to let us in later. Mr. Saas also advice us to kick the butt if anybody happen to sit at our place. But luckily no one did until the race end ..

I'm feel relief and very grate full to Mr. Saas and the Malay lady supervisor. Thousand thanks to them, we able to enjoy the race.

Such a experience ... both the F1 race and the moment of losing the ticket ...fuuu.....
