My Sepang 2009 Qualifying Report

SATURDAY, 4 APRIL 2009 Qualifying day + the day I meet Michael

-qualifying was not interesting for a ferrari fan, but as an F1 fan, it was ok.
- Ferrari P9 and P16. Not good at all…wondered why felipe just did 1 lap and staying in the garage…what were they thinking? so I hoped for rain on raceday…Thats the only hope that i saw at that moment.

paddock invasion:->
after the qualifying around 6.50pm went to the pitlane, infront of the garage….just manage to be there around 5-10mins before the rain started pouring…..saw I took some shelter at the Ferrari Radio Pit…meet on ferrari crew….forgot his name…but I remember him saying that he worked as Structure engineer + also Pitstop rear jack….He was from Napoli, Italy(this is like 2days before the italy earthquake)
